Suggest Medication For Severe And Sharp Shoulder Pain
I have a shoulder that has been huring me for years it has progressively gotten worse. i can hold my arm out to the side just fine. it hurts but not unbarable. If i try and just raise it straight out, i get a horrible sharp pain in my shoulder that runs into my collarbone right up to where it meats my neck. it hurts so bad it draws me up. After 10 minutes or so it wil slowly stop throbing and go back to the regular dull achy pain i have everyday. can anybody help me out tell me what might be going on.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder. I suggest using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day to relieve the pain. I recommend to see a neurologist for a nerve test to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
