It started with front shoulder pain on my right side. I can't hold onto things for an extended period of time with my right arm, imagine bringing groceries in from the car.
My shoulder tends to burn up and sting/tingle and get numb. As well, anytime I put my arm higher than shoulder height, anywhere above my heads, it starts to feel this way.
So any shoulder workouts I'm practically unable to do and I feel a disconnection from my back exercises too even. My left side is fine, right side feels iffy.
As well, with this shoulder pain I have a hard time bench pressing since it burns. It doesn't matter the weight, I'm doing far less than I did when I was in highschool.
I've had this problem for about four years now is my guess but I finally got it looked at by my doctor last summer.
I did physical therapy and have been doing so since. I was told to ice my shoulder, take inflammatory meds, and strengthen my back muscles like my trap and rhomboids and serratus anterior.
My back is a lot stronger on my right side than it was previously before pt but still not as solid as my left. Benching is a little better but still doesn't feel right.
I've done a lot of research but still can't find an answer. I have an appointment with the orthopedic department in the upcoming weeks.
I'm worried they're not going to know the issue as I've read several accounts of people with this problem going to massage therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, etc. and still having this persist.
Thoughts?
