Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My right shoulder started to hurt about two weeks ago and it does not seem to be getting any better. It is actually hurting more. I did not fall or hit it against anything. When I move it or try to raise it is when it hurts the most. I tried to put bengay on it and it is tender as though it is bruised. You can also feel a clicking in the shoulder when I move it.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi,
It can be shoulder dislocation, or arthritis. Some blood tests may be needed. I would suggest an orthopedic surgeon's consultation and x-ray shoulder to find the exact cause. Till then, give rest to the part. Do not massage. Fomentation can be permitted. NSAID like Ibuprofen over the counter will relieve pain to some extent.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
