My shoulders are killing me!!
Question: My shoulders are killing me!
My shoulders are hurting badly.. I haven't got too many answers and I really need some good ones.. The ones I got already are good suggestions but I need more that that.. I can't see a doctor, a chiropractor my siblings walk on my back doesn't help though I think it made it worse.. The reasons are money and transportation.. It has been hurting since last year at the beginning of school.. I do powerlift or weight lift for sport.. I am in pain even now.. I have tried ice packs and it only worked for a week.. I need some other alternative.. I know it sounds like it's impossible but there has to be something.. Those massage things don't help for very long either..Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I am thinking that you could have Shoulder tendonitis it is caused by continued and repetitive action such as heavy lifting especially above shoulder height.. I am speaking from experience as I had an operation two years ago.. I worked in a warehouse and my job involved lifting and packing items that were mostly 40kg and rolling oil drums that weighed 205kg.. The pain started 6 years ago but I paid no attention thinking it was age related arthritis.. 2 years ago I had to take leave from my job because the pain was too much to handle.. Your situation may not be as bad so see a doctor before you do need surgery.. And I would give away the weights until you get the all clear otherwise you could be doing a lot of damage.. Believe me experience is a great teacher.. Have a look at the following:

I have severe pain in my left shoulder.. The dr.. said it's bursitis and I need surgery, just can't afford it right now.. I have tried taking prescription pain pills but even that doesnt help.. I was going to physical therapy and that made it feel a little better for a short time.. I would suggest going to your doctor and finding out what is really going on.. I have tried just about everything I can think of but the only thing that remotely helps is a deep tissue massage but that doesnt help for long.. good luck!Health Question & Answer
