Shoulder/joint/tendon/muscle pain??????

ad

Got a lot of help last time with my sleep issues. Have another question now.

When my left arm is hanging, like normal at my side just standing there, If I go too long with out propping it up or sitting and letting it rest on a desk, I get more than a normal amount of pain, in my rear delt. I've had joint issues before but this feel different. It doesn't feel as deep, I guess you'd say. And just took a new job, so a couple weeks before new insurance kicks in. Obviously, if it gets bad enough, I'll just go to the ER but I wanted you guys take on it. Thanks in advance!

I would try some at home type therapy until you have insurances.
Use some ice,,heat,,massage and take ALEVE or ADVIL for inflammation.

It could be a myriad of things. You'll never really know unless an ortho specifically diagnoses it based on the symptoms or you get x-rays and/or an MRI. I recently only had a SLAP tear (labrum) diagnosed through an MRI after 25+ years of issues with that shoulder.

I'm not in medicine bro, but what u r describing seems like a nerve pinch. You could get a therapist that does deep tissue massage to work on it and if that doesn't help see a chiropractor.

I don't know exactly what that might be but when my shoulders get tight I get a little shoulder pain. I'll grab a tennis ball and put it between my shoulder and a wall and pin point where it's sore and tight and just roll it out for several minutes until it loosens up.

I can attest to the effectiveness of that! My front delts get really tight and that's the only thing that works
