shoulder pain

[rho 0]

I have been having some left shoulder pain the last few days. I don't know if I should be scared or not. It's not a constant pain, it's when I move the joint not eating or even after eating. It started this morning after a trip to the grocery store and picking up a case of Water.< /p>

Sounds like you sprained your shoulder while lifting the case of Water If it started after you lifted it, and hurts when you move it,manat would be my guess.

Anyone else with different thoughts?

Just to be sure, check with your doctor. I learned my lesson last year concerning "Google-itis" and second guessing. I was doing some weight training as an exercise attempt and thought I re-injured a surgical rotator cuff repair. My primary doc does not diagnose over the phone, so I had to go in to see him. The shoulder hurt with burning pain, yet I could move it around somewhat. He took one visual look at it and told me why Ben-Gay just made it worse. I was getting shingles!!! I never would have thought of that in a million years. So, for you, it's at least worth a call. Don't worry so much. It could be something simple and coincidental like gamergirl suggested. Good luck.
