Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am experiencing pain around my upper right arm/shoulder; front, side and back. The pain comes and goes. I cannot sleep on my side without pain. The pain is sharp and shooting more often than a dull ache. As I said, there are long periods during the day when there is no pain. Ibuprophen helps, but it takes a while for it to to work. I take one liqui gel and usually have to take a second one, before there is any relief.
It can be due to gall stones. If pain of same character is also in upper right half of your tummy. But in other case its simple muscular. U need an xray shoulder to rule out any acute cause . and go for muscle relaxant and warm compression.
