Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Shoulder Blade
18 year old son just finished playing in the tennis tournament. He says his muscle in his upper right shoulder blade hurts now and hurt when he served. The area is red, the skin appears slightly raised and is warm to the touch. Can these symptoms occur from a pulled muscle?

Hello,
Yes this sounds like a strained muscle or tendon. He needs rest, warm compresses and adequate hydration. If it is still painful in a week or so he should see a doctor
