What Could Cause Worsening Upper Shoulder Muscle Pain?
Question: Hello, I have upper shoulder muscle pain. It came on last night. It worsens at night.
Brief Answer:
Upper shoulder rotator cuff injury treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I think you are suffering from rotator cuff acute pain, tear. It is caused by lifting objects that are too heavy or sudden movement of the shoulder.
Your doctor may ask you for an x-ray for bones or ultrasound to examine soft tissues.
It is better to keep your arm at rest.
Use cold packages.
Use anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen to relieve pain and inflammation.
Then restore physical activity gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
