Could The Pain In The Shoulder Be Due To Bursitis Or Torn Rotator Cuff?
I m having pain at about 9.5 in my frontal shoulder area. Could this be bursitis, arthritis, torn rotator cuff, or dislocation. To my knowledge I have not injured this shoulder. I had 3 months ago surgery on the opposite shoulder for bursitis in which the bursa sac was removed. I do have osteoarthritis in some of my other joints. I am having to wait for my orthopedic appointment until next month on the 12th. What else can I do? I ve tried icing and it helps while on. Booze also helps with pain. I will not take Norco. I take meloxicam daily for fibromyalgia and have also take aleve today as in other days. Is there anything else interim that I can do?

hi,
First of all thank you for providing me an opportunity to assist you.
I dont think it will be a bursitis, arthritis, torn rotator cuff or dislocation. I think it will be a purely muscular pain and weakness of muscle groups around the shoulder joint.
why dont you try strengthening your triceps, biceps, trapezius muscles and wait till you meet your ortho.
i have seen many cases with anterior pain in shoulder joint, it all takes a few weeks to get rid of it, if the triceps and trapezius are strengthened.
Once the anatomy of the body is made aligned the problems are out of the body.
I wish you a speedy recovery and best for future health.
thank you
