Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Shoulder
Hi. I have always had problems with my right shoulder and when I was between 18 months about 8 I dislocation it 9 times. It s always been sore when I do excerise or stretch it in a certain way but recently I can t even carry a back pack without it being sore and swollen for a couple of days and I can t lift my arm above my head without it being sore. I wondered if there s anything I can do to help improve it or if it s worth going to see my gp

Hi there.
It is possible you have developed Rotator cuff tear or arthrosis. Avoid lifting or moving the arm about. Use a shoulder immobiliser and consult your Orthopaedic surgeon as soon as possible as arthroscopic repair may be indicated in a tear.
