I have an ache in my shoulder. It goes at an angle across and down the back of my arm . It is an annoying ache. It has been two months and I ve gone to the chiropractor a few times and it has improved some. I wonder if it is bursitis. I have been taking ibuprofen almost everyday since Can you give some suggestions. It bothers me most at night when I ve been in bed for a couple of hrs.
Hello there. I have read through your question and would like to tell you that the pain you are having may be caused due to bursitis or cervical spondylosis. A blood investigation like ESR and CRP along with an X-Ray of the cervical spine will help to make the diagnoses. Meanwhile, you should rest the affected area. Apply ice packs. Take an anti-inflammatory like diclofenac to relieve inflammation. Continue with the physiotherapy. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor.
