Getting Sharp Pain In Shoulder And Feeling Lightheaded. What Is Going On?
I ve been having sharp pains and inflamation in my right shoulder ever since I went rock climbing and ripped something in my shoulder 7 years ago. Its been getting worse now with popping sensations when I rotate my right arm and more then not it feels like something is inside creating inflamation. I can actually shift my arm downward and you can see were arm bone and shoulder/collar bone area disconnects more then it should. Within the past week I ve been getting sharp pains down my right arm (mainly two inches below my elbow area) and lightheaded. I have no clue as to whats going on.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have described could be related to a ligament tear in the shoulder joint that can only be diagnosed after an MRI scan of the area. You need to avoid lifting any weights till then and take a mild anti inflammatory.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
