What Causes Sharp Pain In Back Shoulder With Big Knots On Them?

I have been experiencing sharp pain in my back shoulder area. My guess is a strained rhomboid or trap. The area is not swollen but hurts to touch and has big knots when I try to roll it out. Furthermore I experience almost constant aching and pain when I move my arms (especially overhead), bend over, or try to get up from bed or a chair. I am an olympic weightlifter and I first noticed the pain front squatting. I rested it and then fully injured it two days later doing clean and jerks (so weight overhead). It has been going for 4 days and does not seem to be subsiding. I need to be training but can t move weight with this injury.

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with pain at the upper back of your shoulder that is aggravated when bending over or get off from chair and bed following a history of weightlifting I am suggesting that you have developed a sprain

In view of this please do an x-ray to exclude other possible causes such as fracture dislocation

Please take the following Tablet nurofen cymbalta gabapentin neurobion

I hope this helps Regards
