Question : I am having pain in my right solders. As of now it’s not bothering me from doing my regular work but when I try move it around, it does pain. It’s been there since couple of months now. Should I consult a orthopaedic.

Brief Answer: Get yourself examined by an Orthopedician. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems that you had a muscle strain or pull at your shoulder joint. As your problem persists, get yourself examined by an Orthopedician. Meanwhile give proper rest to your shoulder. Do not lift heavy weights from that side. Doing hot fomentation and applying a local analgesic gel on the area will be helpful to relieve the spasm and pain. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
