Tempe Chiropractor

THIS HURTS! What hurts…: my right shoulder hurts as I try to relax (just rest position) it or I try to move it down. When I am moving my arm doing any other activity I don’t notice any particular pain. In fact, the pain is more like “under” my right scapula, I cannot “touch” a muscle that actually hurts. How you hurt it…: I have been cleaning and painting my whole new apartment for the last 5 days, could it be that? When you hurt it…: I actually think the problem started already some weeks ago, I normally don’t feel pain, but AFTER I do some “work” like heavy cleaning or painting the walls, I feel I cannot relax the shoulder. The pain usually persists some hours or even one day. Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): 4, but it’s very annoying because I cannot leave my shoulder relax, I feel like I need to hold the shoulder up to releave the pain, (or holding mu right elbow with my left hand) and when pain occurs, I don’t know how to sleep comfortably. Your age and overall health…: 30 years, female, good overall health, quite active, I do sport (hiking specially) but often only have time for that during the weekend/holidays. Any other information you feel is relevant…: For the last months (last december especially) I have experienced more “problems” in my back, like muscle strain (right trapezium), and I had to do rehab for 15 days. thank you very much YOUR INJURY COULD BE… Thoracic Strain REHAB YOUR INJURY BY… Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day …
