US.Patriot, you need to have an xray of the shoulder and cervical spine +/- an MRI scan. It is difficult to tell from the limited information provided whether your pain is likely to be shoulder in...

This is really good to see - you've done the research LiftingPeanuts, but i cant agree with you on one aspect - that it takes 6-12 months to heal completely. Ive seen and treated numerous cases of...

If you're really depressed you could get yourself some prozac LP!? Just kidding ... no actually, prozac is the only antidepressant that has a proven thermogenic effect in humans. So, you could be...

Pins/Needles/Numbness and pain that radiates (esp if it is like an electric shock) are all signs of a nerve root problem. Depending on where these symptoms are felt, it is possible to determine the...

You're welcome TheCurator. It certainly sounds like AC joint from the info you've provided (although, as pointer out earlier, we cant absolutely rule out rotator cuff). However, it is a little...

TheCurator it sounds like AC joint pain, although the rotator cuff can't be excluded. It would help to know how the injury occurred if it's AC joint. Did you sustain an injury or have a fall or did...

NoodleArms this injury is certainly atypical. In your favour, you can at least identify the exercises that aggravate your injury, so perhaps the best treatment approach at the moment might be to...

Interesting article mc but not a very good review of the literature i'm afraid. Moreover, some of the research findings presented here have been misinterpreted by the author of this article and some...

Okay, so why does your butt hurt when you move your ankle?

One thing to rule out here is a cervical spine problem. Specifically, stiffness in the upper 3 segments can give rise to the sort of headaches described. A functional xray may reveal poor mobility of...

Yeh agreed - prob very mild AC jt prob or rotator cuff. Just continue to take it easy until things heal - probably a few more weeks doing the light stuff. If you still have probs then it might be...

Just a final word from me rsw1 - what you're referring to by your description of your shoulder posture is something we call a 'protracted shoulder girdle'. Some contributing factors to consider here...

Are injuries inevitable? In short - yes. Not all injuries can be prevented and not all injuries are predictable or foreseeable. However, as pointed out above, there is much we can do to reduce our...

ysl i wasnt referring to straightening the knee - we already did that test. The second test i recommended was moving the ankle upward in the direction of the knee whilst you're in a slouched sitting...

Hey buddy there's nothin' wrong with therapy is there? Looks like you're pretty intuitive & have a good sense of whats going on with your shoulder. What's not clear is whether your shoulder pain is...

You're welcome wabeer1. Glad i could help.

wabeer1, probably the best way to understand this muscle group is to appreciate that only the long head of the triceps crosses the shoulder joint to attach to the scapula (just like the long head of...

Frustrating isn't it! Sometimes an ankle/foot fracture doesn't show up until the bone starts to mend and a callus forms which can easily seen on xray. You didn't mention what bone(s) you fractured,...

Thats what i suspected. The reason i asked you to perform that test was to distinguish between the medial head of triceps and the long head of triceps as possible sources of your symptoms. What you...

Unusual injury wabeer1. Tell me - what hurts more - doing standing cable pushdowns (with your elbows into your side) against resistance or doing a sitting dumbell extension (with your elbow pointed...
