I have a 18 year old son who plays high level basketball and wants to play in college. Last year as a junior he was the quarterback on the football team and hurt his shoulder. It is painful for him so in April 2015 had an Mri done. Went to 2 specialist and received 2 diff conclusions. He is still having pain. So I am trying to find a shoulder specialists in Dallas Fort Worth area that is highly recommended. Is there someone you can recommend?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe leg pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like bursitis, tendinitis, bone spurs, torn cartilage, torn rotator cuff, pinched nerves or spinal cord injury. I would suggest you to give your shoulder complete rest, apply warm compresses on it, do not play until it gets better, do gentle message and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. If condition doesn't get better than consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan, MRI or physical examination. Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant along with physical therapy and stretching exercises. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
