I would get some exercise bands, and gently pull them so you can strengthen your shoulder, but not aggressively. \n\ngood luck.

No, it should only hurt your shoulder or hand

Radiculitis is a common source of pain in the arms, hands, and shoulder. It is caused by inflammation of the spinal nerve root.

My daughter & I both get a sharp shooting pain through our right shoulder. It feels like your being electricuted. I asked the doctor about it & she said it's mild nerve damage that should correct itself with exercise.

my fiance has an issue with her shoulder.  What I usually do is have her stretch it out (or I do it for her if it hurts too bad) Put a heating pack on it to relax the muscles.  \nIf some one can message it for you that would be of help to you as well.  \nWhat you also might want to try is cream with st. johns wart or hot pepper.  i know it sounds crazy but both have anti-inflammitory properties and pain relieving properties as well.  One thing you could try is to mash a hot pepper.  take a cold cream, hand lotion or the like.  Take the mashed pepper and add some a little at a time til its pink. (not red because it will irritate the skin due to the fact that its too strong for our skin to handle in that amount.) and rub the now pink cream along the effected area.  \nSt Johns Wart added to almond or olive oil also works great.  Add st johns wart ot the oil.  let stand for a few hours strain and apply.  make sure when you use this method you completely relax the area so it can work.  I hope this helps you out.

Your shoulder, your hip joints.

What are you asking? What causes shoulder pain and weakness? Symptoms-how long have you had the pain and weakness? Since you had a lumpectomy (cancer I'd assume)-you know that you should ask a doctor. Without specifics-very specific information-Yahoo people can not answer-ACTUALLY, should not answer...

Your brain has no nereve endings, so it cant hurt. Its the sensation of building tension in the muscles or constricton causing pressure that causes the pain. The origin of the pain is what causes the shifts in pain location for eg. we hunch our bodies defensively when we are under stress which leads to constant muscle tenson across the shoulders and neck which eventually translates into the characteristic pattern of a tension headache (back, neck, shoulder, head). or if you have eye problems headaches can originate on the side of constant strain or pressure (left eye vs right).\n\nApart from eyes and migraine, certain substances (e.g drugs, drinks, food etc.) can trigger headaches. Hormonal (e.g. menstrual) changes, dehydration, tiredness and other states of biological disharmony can lead to headaches.

I do believe you may have what we call tendinitis. When you play ball you are  working your tendons , and if you play allot, you may be over using the same tendons causing friction which then causes the tendon to swell. Very pain full, I have this same condition in my shoulder. doctors usually will recommend an anti-inflammatory cream for this. Here's the crappy thing though....If this is what's wrong, unfortunately it will cause you problems off and on for probably most of your life.\n\nThe best thing for it is rest. Give your arm a break.

One possibility could be that you are having some sort of back problem.  For example, I have nerve damage in my left shoulder due to scoliosis.  I sometimes have a sore left arm all the way down to the tips of my fingers from it!  Stretching most days of the week and seeing a chiropractor resolved it.  Also, you may want to consider carpal tunnel syndrome.  Carpal tunnel syndrome is a specific group of symptoms that can include tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the fingers, thumb, hand, and occasionally in the arm.  You may want to visit a doctor just in case to find out what it is for certain.  Best of luck.

you need to work out the muscles in your shoulders, upper back, and upper chest.  Most important here is your rotator cuff is one of the most important muscles to work.  When working out your rotator cuff, be careful, it is a very small muscle that only takes very little resistance to properly work out.  You can very easily damage the muscle if you work it too vigorously.  You can find exercises on line, or look for upper body workout books.  Make sure you get one that is specifically for men or women.  Our bodies require different intensities.

A truly torn rotator cuff wouldn't allow you to pick your arm up over you head.  Alternately, if someone put your arm up at shoulder height, you wouldn't be able to hold it their yourself.  At the time of injury you would have felt intense pain, had moderate swelling in your shoulder, and may have had numbness or tingling down your arm to your fingers.  If you suspect that you have torn your rotator cuff, you need to get to your doctor and have it checked out.  Here is some information for you to read.

Your shoulder joint is held in capsule that is not completely sealed, that is that it is sealed by muscle, ligaments and and an articular capsule made of cartilage, however it is not completely sealed which is good so that it can move more freely, but it can also make the shoulder easy to pop out of its socket.  That popping sound in your shoulder is probably the whole shoulder joint capsule making contact with another bone in the shoulder joint area, like I said it the joint is not completely smooth and when you work out a movement might possibly put enough stress on the joint capsule to come in contact with another bone in the area creating that "pop" until it returns to its normal position
