I'm feeling really stressed today, and now I have this pain in my right shoulder and arm. It's so bad that I can't even lift my arm above my head without it hurting. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The shoulder and arm pain you're experiencing, especially if it's provoked by stress and affects your ability to lift your arm, could be related to musculoskeletal issues such as a strain or tendonitis. However, if there is any concern that the pain might be cardiac-related, it's important to rule out conditions like angina, especially given your stress. I recommend visiting your healthcare provider to evaluate the cause of your pain and ensure appropriate treatment. They may suggest rest, ice, and possibly anti-inflammatory medications, or they may perform further tests to rule out any cardiac involvement.

View allI'm from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in my left knee medial and lateral meniscus plus an ACL issue. The report mentions an oblique tear in the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness ACL tear with some retraction. I've seen two ortho doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own with physio, or is surgery the only option? What's the best treatment for my case?
Prompt treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening and may improve your chances of a full recovery.Stretching physical therapy is advise.Also RICE treatment is advied to the patient(REST,ICE,COMPRESSION and ELEVATION).Surgery advised is arthroscopy and meniscectomy is the gold standard technique to the patient.

My doc recommended surgery for my condition but I'm wondering if meds and rest could work instead. The MRI shows the issue but I'm hesitant about going under the knife is there a non-surgical option that might help?
yes surgery is advised.
