Hi XXXXXXX
I need more details about your pain to be able to help you better
Is it over the shoulder blade?
Are you there?
rt shoulder_feels like muscel under blade
ok
Does it happen with a particular shoulder pain?
particular shoulder movement*
hurts
no hurts all the time
ok
Do you have any issues with the lung right side?
no
Any pain with deep breathing?
pain is constant no worse when breathing
ok
It seems like muscular strain
There are muscles under the shoulder blade.
It seems that you have pulled a muscle under the shoulder
what would relieve the pain
I was suspecting a rib pain but it is not getting worse with breathing
It will last a few days
One thing that will be helpful is pain-killers
Now to judge the strength of pain-killers needed you need to tell how bad is the pain
If I give you a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst pain
no it seemed to start after reaching extending the arm
Where will you rate the pain?
Yes I understand
That is why it is a muscle pull
about 7
Is the movement of shoulder limited or normal?
movement is not limited
ok
So it has not affected a bone or shoulder joint
no
Aceclofenac can provide relief
But it is not available over-the counter
You will need written prescription for it
how to get the presc
Apart from this you will need to move the joint by doing a few stretching exercises
I will not be able to give it online
You may either consult a doctor
if you have some strong pain-killers at home
You can ask and I can tell which one to take
tylonal ibeprofin
You can try ibuprofen
Lets see if it works
Otherwise you can also try naproxen which is overthecounter
It may provide some relief
ok
Aceclofenac is stronger than these two
how long would you expect pain to last
It should not last for more than 3 - 4 days
But keep your shoulder stable as musch as possible
If you have a sling at home you can wear it
thank you
with stretching once or twice a day
ok
Do you have any doubt here?
