Question: Hi, I am having shoulder pain since 3 4 days. I thing I might have shoulder impregnation. What can I do to cure it. Should I avoid gym ming?
Brief Answer:
can be muscular strain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Strenuous exercises very often bring about muscular strains. Further activities may have worsened this pain. I see such events very regularly at my clinic.
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 pain is severe, say above 8 on a pain scale, then emergency room visit could be worth it.
If the pain is not such intense, you may consider waiting for few more days. Ice the affected part frequently. Avoid any activities involving the affected shoulder and definitely no physical exercises, pushing and pulling. Anti-inflammatory treatment like topical pain balms application and oral drugs like Advil (ibuprofen) 400mg twice a day after food will give added relief.
You can consult an orthopedic directly / through your local physician if the pain remains despite the above measures. X ray of the shoulder and cervical region are entailed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
