Left Shoulder Pain for 3 Weeks
Posted , 5 users are following.
HI,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been having bad pain in the left shoulder for 3 weeks, the pain is just left of the spine between the spine and the shoulder blade and I would say its a 7/10, it really hurts quite bad sometimes and nothing seems to help it.
As well as the shoulder blade pain i occasionally get neck upper arm and shoulder pain, i have no restricted movement, i can move my arms in any direction above my head and have no weakness. I really getting anxious on what this could be and would appreciate any support or advice anyone could give.
Kind regards
David

Hi David,
are you active or sedentary? Can you link the pain to any activity? It is possible you may have a rib out of place. maybe your Dr could refer you to a PT or a chiropractor after doing an x ray to rule out any other pathology. It would probably be best to have a health care professional look at it.

i have a fairly sedentary lifestyle being an office worker where I'm sitting at for 8 hours a day and driving to and from work. I Cant think of any accident I have had recently that could of caused this, the only possible thing I can think of is playing with my daughter of 4 years of age who was jumping on my shoulders all the time, baring that I'm unsure what could of caused it. I had an X Ray of the neck and shoulders last week and am waiting for the results which I've been told can take 1-2 weeks.

I've been referred for physio, the doc is still pretty sure its muscular but nothing is relieving this pain. the pain is in my neck, upper back and shoulder blade all on the left hand side.
I have a telephone appointment with the physio department on Monday then i will get invited in for some treatment, hopefully the physio works.
regards
David

my pains got worse and worse and is showing no sign of letting up. I'm really anxious right now, I just want this pain to go.
if i bend forward i get pain on the left side near the shoulder blade, if i turn my body to the right, like I'm looking over my right shoulder i get pain, if i take a deep breath i get pain, what could this be? Muscles? could they really be this painful and sharp?
The pain us always on the left, mid back to shoulder.
Thanks for taking the time to read. David

Hi guys
I was wondering if any of you have got to the root of your shoulder problems. I have had right shoulder pain since Christmas and today it is the worse ever pain. I've been to doctor and he referred me to physio. I am being treated for poor posture. Because I have early osteoarthritis in my neck my doctor thinks its that but my physio said it nothing to do with my neck. It's worse when I lie down at night and I cannot sleep on my right side. I don't know what to think anymore.
