Re: cheat_training_group question re shoulder pain

Thanks All!

Made an appointment with my regular doc for this week, and with Dr. Brent Wiesel for next week (he has a Chevy Chase office on Wednesdays, FYI). Will make sure to get an MRI and check for tears. 

Pain is in the top and back, around the shoulder blade. 

So sorry that so many of us have had to suffer such injuries, but glad that there is a road to recovery (including non-surgical) and thanks so much for all the smart advice!

Go see a specialist. I strongly recommend dr Wiesel.    in addition to being an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulders, he is a kayaker.

Subject: cheat_training_group question re shoulder pain

 

Hey Friends,

I figure this listserve has more experience and understanding of shoulder pain and injury than anywhere.  I am not crowd-sourcing a medical diagnosis here, but rather asking about what I should do - see my regular doc? A physiotherapist? Is there a sports injury doc? Orthopedist?

 

It is my right (dominant) shoulder, and it has been hurting for several months now. Doesn't hurt when I kayak (staying in the box) or weight lift or other stuff, but does hurt afterwards. Sort of a low-level chronic pain when I reach up, stretch sideways, or strain it in a twisting lift. 

 

May be bursitis? May be a tendon tear or injury?

 

Recommendations on who to talk with?
