What Causes Intermittent Sharp Right-sided Shoulder Pain?
Posting for my boyfriend. He s having shoulder pain in his right shoulder. Sharp, long lasting, in front and back of his shoulder, echoing pain that comes and goes. He can t really raise his hand above his head and it s causing sleep deprivation due to discomfort. It s been a while now and getting worse but doctors visits and bills just aren t agreeing with more physical checkups. Help?

Hello,
Most probably it is due to neuropathic causes. As a first step you can take analgesics like ibuprofen or tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
