Shoulder Pain
by Zephyriss, Jun 17, 2008 08:52PM
A few weeks ago I went to the doctor about my shoulder. While I thought it may have been dislocated, (mostly because of the popping and extreme pain when moving it) he was pretty sure it wasn't, and that it was just a torn muscle. He said to give it two weeks to heal and it should be fine.
Now it's been two weeks, and while most of the pain is gone now, it still hurts and generally feels abnormal moving it certain directions. It also still makes a popping noise.
My doctor didn't seem real concerned about the popping, though. So is this abnormal popping part of a torn muscle? Is there something else I can do to help fix it? Or should I visit my doctor again within a certain time?

As there is no dislocation,you need not worry.The popping may be due to some inflammatory conditions and will resolve on its own.You can take some NSAID and can consult a physiotherapist for pain management.If the symptoms worsen you can again go in for a x-ray to rule out any pathology.

Another thought which happened to me. I had shoulder spurs which I had removed but wasn't recovering like I did when I had my other shoulder done. My right shoulder hurt on top and in my shoulder blade. To my surprise I learned that a bad gallbladder can cause shoulder pain. Had mine out 10 days ago and most of shoulder pain is gone. You didn't say if you had any other symptoms other than your shoulder. Who would have thought a gallbladder would flair a shoulder up. Everything in our bodies seems inner related.
Good luck,
Linda
