Hello Dr.! I am recently going through an ache in my right shoulder and its getting severe. Recently i was diagnosed to have Thyroid (Hypo). These days I m getting addicted to salty smoked hazelnuts.....Wonder if the hazelnut consumption could be the reason of this ache. Kindly advice?
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to chronic degeneration of the shoulder joint. I don't think that it is related to the hazelnuts. Is the pain triggered by arm or shoulder rotation or movements? This would be another argument in favor of local inflammation (possible bursitis). Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an X-ray of the shoulder joint. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
