Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From the symptoms that you have described, it seems to be
Rotator cuff tendonitis or
shoulder impingement syndrome which causes irritation and inflammation of the rotator cuff and the bursa when doing overhead activity and hence pain.
You need to get an MRI scan done which is a more sensitive test for
soft tissue and muscular injuries. An Orthopedician is the best person to be consulted in case the pain is persistent.
Here are some general treatment measures which you can follow:
1) Provide complete rest and avoid overhead activities.
2) Apply hot compresses and take some anti inflammatory pain killer .
Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Motrin,
ibuprofen, or Aleve can help with pain control and decrease inflammation.
Activities that cause symptoms should be avoided. A
physical therapy program that focuses on establishing non-painful shoulder motion and strengthening of the shoulder muscles will also be helpful.
If the symptoms are severe then after confirming the diagnosis by MRI, you may need steroid injections .
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
