I've been having this pain around my right collar bone and shoulder, and it gets worse when I sneeze, cough, or take a deep breath. It's really bothering me when I move my arms, and even when I lean on my left shoulder, the pain kicks in. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or get it checked out?

This type of pain can be caused by muscle strain, injury, or inflammation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Additionally, applying ice to the affected area and avoiding activities that worsen the pain can also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

I've been dealing with left shoulder pain for two years now, and it's really limiting my movements some motions cause intense pain. My BP is under control, but the MRI showed issues in my left shoulder. One doctor suggested rotator cuff repair surgery, but I'm unsure if that's the best option. What would you recommend for long-term relief, and what should I expect if I go through with the surgery?

Chronic shoulder pain with MRI findings often benefits from rotator cuff repair‚Äîphysiotherapy first, then surgery if no relief; recovery takes weeks.

I'm 6 weeks post-op from arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder for an ALPSA lesion and need to start active movements and external rotation exercises. Since I can't see a physio right now, what exercises can I safely do at home? I also have slight pain during internal rotation should I be concerned about that?
