shoulder pain I am having very sharp pains n my right upper back/shoulder area. it happened suddenly and has persisted for about 3 hours now. it starts by my shoulder blade and if i try to lift my arm it sends a shooting pain down my back and it hurts to breath. I have been having on and off muscle spasms. I have taken two extra strength tylenol and it still is painful to move. it dulls some when i lay on my back but doesn t go away. and as soon as I try to get up it is extremely painful again. should I go to the hospital or can it wait for a Dr appt? it has been happening on and off for five weeks but it is really bad tonight, worse then its ever been before.
Hi, This is mostly a spasmed muscle or group of muscles, try a strong muscle relaxant and hot water massage on your back and shoulder, if you have access to a vibrator device it can help until you see a therapist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Amman Darragh, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
