How To Reduce Shoulder, Neck And Arm Pain?

I have a two year old I pick up often. My left shoulder feels ok when I wake in the mornings but gets progressively more and more sore throughout the day. By mid day, I have pain in the front, across the top near my neck and sometimes up my neck, and down the back along my shoulder blade. By end of day, it s so severe I can t lift my arm to pull off my shirt, flip light switches, etc and can t sleep well. What can I do and would physiotherapy help?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you have got muscular pain in left shoulder and around it. Treatment of it is rest, icing and analgesics (diclofenac ). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside also give relief. Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. Physiotherapy has no role in acute pain.It require rest so physiotherapy is likely to increase it. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
