Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Right Shoulder
Question: Severe pain in right back shoulder bone area
Brief Answer:
I will suggest only Physiotherapy for you.
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
I see you are 94 years and suffer from COPD and heart failure.
First of all congratulations on reaching ninety plus.
Since you have tried both local treatment and pain killers and been to a doctor, I will suggest only Physiotherapy for you. In any case strong and even mild pain killers frequently taken at your age can harm kidneys and liver.
So active Physiotherapy; or home management---
10 mts ice followed by 10 mts heat, followed by gentle massage with any pain rub, followed by slow exercises of neck, shoulder and hand--twice a day till it gets better. You should gradually improve.
You can revert back to me--regards
