weird pain in left shoulder

Pinched nerve? Muscle damage? Something along those lines?

Indica dominant hybrids or even splits should help.

But seriously, medical attention would be a good idea.

 

I'm a Doctor, and I recommend x-rays. It's simple really. Have them review it and tell you whats up.

 

No it's probably not a pinched nerve as it is not an area with much pressured movement. Typically they happen in areas related to movement and pressure (think lower back and spine, also knees). However, it's still interesting and I would suggest getting some x-rays done, they are better than MRIs for shoulders.

 

I had the same problem a little while ago underneath my right shoulder blade.

Are you left handed?

Does the pain cause that area to go numb? Just gently scratch your fingernails over the pain-affected area. If you can't feel the scratch, it's numb. You pinched a nerve. Improving your posture is something that needs to be done. Also, if you throw things, make sure you use proper throwing form. Otherwise, you'll be moving backwards in your recovery.

If it's just a random, sharp pain, I'd recommend going to see a doctor immediately.

Below your shoulder blade is really your back not shoulder. Is that what you were trying to say?

 

sounds muscular. you probably have pressure point pain.

there are a variety of causes. and they are pretty common, the severity varies though. I would recommend seeing a physical therapist and getting deep tissue massages as well as doing the exercises that they give you every morning. If you do get the knots cleared, do something like swimming or biking to work everything out. Shoulder injuries could take up to a year or more to fully heal. don't give up!

 

muscle spasms?

theyre random,hurt like hell, and usually dont last long.

 

You most likley have a tender point or a trigger point from some myofascial restriction or strain most likely from chronic poor posture. Most back pain is from soft tissue injury and here is where I respectfully disagree w/ the Dr.; Xrays in most cases of back pain will not show a thing and are a waste of time. You are far better off to go to a PT and have them assess you. Your regular Dr. will give you a variety of tests to check for pinched nerves and perhaps a recommendation for ice or heat or muscle relaxors. Once they rule out a bulging or ruptured disk they will most likely send you to PT and that would be good.

 

It's his shoulder

 

duuuuuuuude! i have the same fucking thing. It's always so random when it comes too. I seriously stop what I'm doing and have to grab my shoulder because it hurts so bad. Doesn't happen alot, just periodically. It feels like being shocked or some shit..

 

Sounds like a trigger point myocytis. sound similiar to a shoulder pain i had. but my shoulders are fucked form hockey. it was a simple fix once there was a diagnosis ( it took 3-4 office visits x rays etc. The treatmen tif i rem right was injections to the trigger area (cortisone?) muscle relaxers and strong anti inflamtory for 4 weeks. since then 4-5 yrs ago i have not had a problem, it flares once in a blue moon now tha ti no longer play, and a few days 2-3 of indocine and muscle relaxer and it goes away. Get it checked out man, prolly nothing serious, but you dont want to be the guy with the story of i waited to long and now i will die guy.

btw my trigger points were on the left scapula and its accompanying musculature. the right shoulder is shredded, lol and needs a 12,000 repair, so medical MJ for a long time for me, lol.
