Suggest Treatment For Severe Shoulder Pain

I have had pain in my shoulder/arm since 2014. It started after I used my arm painting all day. At first it limited my movement of the arm. x-ray showed arthritis and rotator disease. I was seen my an orthopedic surgeon and had physical therapy. The inside of my upper right arm hurts off and on all day and at night. It hurts if I am just sitting and not using it. I broke my right shoulder bone years ago. tylenol helps me sleep.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pain in your shoulder may be caused by the underlying arthritis/rotator cuff disease or may be due to the shoulder bone pain post fracture. However, many treatment options exist for such pains like different lines of pain drugs depending on pain intensity, myorelaxants, steroid shots occasionally/infiltration, physiotherapy, and surgery in some cases.

I will advise you try the following:
• Continue with Tylenol for pain.
• Add a myorelaxant like Miorel.
• Shoulder massage with a pain gel like Voltaren.
If pains persist, you see the doctor for examination and other treatment options.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mbuomboh Veranso
