Right Scapula Pain09/13/2011 |
I am a 56yo male with r/scapula pain. I have had numerous xrays & mri`s that show that the shoulder is perfectly fine. When the pain starts it feels like a MMA fighter has me in an arm bar & is pulling my shoulder out of the joint. Last year I discovered that if I stay hydrated, the pain is totally controlled - I have no problem unless I forget to drink plenty of water. Any thoughts as to what my problem is?
Unfortunately, this could be many things and without being able to examine you, it is hard to say exactly what it could be. I recommend that you follow-up with a sports medicine or orthopedic specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
