Shoulder Pain

Recommended Posts

As the title says really. My shoulder has become increasingly painful today, right in the joint at the front. :(

The only thing that has happened today was that I reached behind my head and it made a loud "CRACK" sound :shock:

Any suggestions as to what it might be?

 

Edited for typos :oops:

Ow. :( You may have dislocated it when it cracked and went straight back but would leave it sore. Egluntine is right about Ibuprofen it will help any inflamation and pain. Keep moving it to keep your range of movement. Hope it settles.

Does your neck hurt as well?

 

I remember the same thing happened to me acouple of weeks ago but all that I did was wake up and my neck and shoulder hurt so much I couldn't sit up :(

It hurt to move my arm and I couldn't turn my head right.... I was living of Deep Heat and the infra red heat lamp as well as Paracetamol :)

Hope that helps, and that you get better soon!

The most common cause is an injured rotator cuff ligament. Hopefully you've just strained it and as previously said just rest it and take ibruprofen. If after a couple of weeks it doesn't ease don't hesitate to go to your gp. If you've caused a tear in any one of your ligaments in the shoulder it will need medical attention.

Hope it settles.
