Allergic Reaction to Alcohol?| From | To | Post |
| daedal 6/13/2006 | . | I've been having weird symptoms for the past year or so. After a night of heavy drinking a year ago. I woke up with this pain in my left arm. Whenever I would raise my left arm, I would feel this sharp pain that I would feel from my armpit to the middle of my arm. I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol that was causing inflammation or what. My left shoulder would also feel inflammed and soar. And whenever I would lift it up, a bone seems to be cracking every time I lift up. It hurts as well when it cracks. I would take massive amounts of omega3's to lower inflammation, but i think my body built a tolerance to them and inlflammation wouldnt get any better. Also sometimes my lower left and right side ache from time to time. Very weird and sporatic symptoms. Another thing that happens when I run for a small period of time, I get this pain that feels like its next to my heart, It usually comes within 20 seconds of heavy running and if I continue to run, the pain gets even worse. I havn't drinking anything for the past six months and these symptoms have proceeded. I don't think alcohol is the problem, I think it aggitates more than anything. Was wondering if you had any suggestions or anything that would help the inflammation. |

You cannot get an "immunity" to Omega 3 oils. Omega 3 is not an anti-inflammatory by itself, but can act as a "booster" to some anti-inflammatories. If your shoulder is inflammed, the skin will be somewhat warmer to the touch than the other shoulder. I suspect you either pulled a muscle or tore a ligament in the shoulder. See an Orthopedist and get an xray. Orthopedists and radiologists look for different things on an xray. | [Thread closed to new comments] |
