Please help, I don't know where to go for this I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in the back of my shoulder, particularly my rotator cuff I suspect. I also get some pain in my chest from it. I can't lay down at all, it hurts too much. When I just sit it is a dull pain. If you know something about this please help. Also the pain goes up my arm and into my hand if I move a certain way

OpenStudy (somy):

if you feel the pain to be intense, you should probably get X-ray done i mean if its not muscle spasm, then probably something is torn, or some nerve is compressed it depends on where exactly do u feel pain + can u think of anything that could have created this outcome? like falling or working out?

OpenStudy (somy):

that happened just before your pain episodes, on a same day or even day before?

OpenStudy (somy):

so did u fall? or work out too much or something? can u recall something that could have caused pain there?

OpenStudy (somy):

it seems to be so

OpenStudy (somy):

wait some time if the pain gets intense and it keeps going for a long time, then go to your doc

OpenStudy (somy):

no problem :) take care
