Shoulder Swollen And Painful, Upper Arms Painful When Raised. Should I Consult An Ortho. Advice?

Hello,
I am a 33 year old mother of two. My second born is 2 months old and I had a c-section delivery. My shoulder is swollen and painful since last night. Neck movements are fine, however both my upper arms hurt a little when I raise them... I am feeling slightly giddy the last three days on and off... Not sure if it is connected...
Had applied powergesic gel and taken disprin tablets last night.
How urgent is it for me to visit an Ortho? Could you please advice?
Thanks and regards

Hi, Mrs. Rohini Rajeev, You are 33 years mother of two, second is 2 months old. Your shoulder swollen since last night, giddy.
It appears to be the arthritis of the shoulder, other causes could be cervical spondylosis.
Better to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Better to avoid using the pain fulshoulder, till pain is relieved.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
