  | Weird, intermittent pain in above armpit... at the back of the shoulder. It hurts when I sleep on it (the right side), and intermittently throughout the day. Been going on for a few weeks. Haven't touched weights for a few weeks (sob!), only the rowing machine - although this might have caused it, I doubt it would last this long. Trapped nerve?? KS |

 | Stand or sit with your arms at your side. Bend your elbows 90 degrees. Make a fist with palms facing to the ceiling. Raise elbows up in front of you to shoulder level (still bent at 90 degrees) Squeeze fist. Does that hurt? Move elbows out to side (still shoulder level) Does that hurt? Move elbows back in and touch elbows? Does that hurt? Make the motion behind your back as if you were tying a bow behind your back or trying to scratch the middle of your back. Does that hurt? What range of motion do you have? What are you doing exactly when you feel the pain? Without knowing those things I can only share with you what I did for my pain. It may be an inflamation of the subscapularis muscle It may be that the muscle is actually too tight. It could be several things. I had similar pain since August. The following is what I did to heal it: 12000mg Omega 3 (It was Hackskii that put me on to the anti inflammatory properties of Omega 3.) 800 IU vitamin E along with quality calories to supply the nutrients the body needs to heal. exercises as follows: Stand or sit with arms to your side Bend elbows 90 degrees at waist. Make fists, palms up 1. Squeeze left fist (using it as the hurt shoulder) 2. Pull left elbow back using the subscapularis muscle as far back as it can go without any pain slowly and gently. Raise the elbow up slightly once you've gone back straight as far as you can go. 3. Extend right fist in front of you at the same time twisting the wrist so the palm is facing to the floor during the "punch". Alternate hands for "punches". 10X. ------ With elbow extended backwards as far as it will go, hold fist to the chest and move the elbow out away from the body (chest level) and pull the elbow forward as far as you can comfortably move it. (Pull the fist into the chest more) Exhale when you pull the elbow forward. Hold for 3 exhalations and pull a little bit more at each exhalation. Focus on the muscle and relax it. ---- With elbow at 90 degrees, in front of you at shoulder level, place the opposite hand under the elbow and pull the elbow gently and slowly into your chest. Exhale as you pull the elbow inward towards your chest. Hold for 3 breaths. At each exhalation pull a little bit more into the chest. Focus on the muscle and relax the elbow into the hand holding it. --- Bend your elbow so that your fist is touching your collarbone Extend your elbow outward shoulder level. Rotate your arm in forward circles, loosely holding your fist to your collarbone. 5X Rotate your arm in backwards cricles, loosely holding your fist to your collarbone. 5X Pull elbow towards front until you can no longer pull it. Hold it for 3 exhalations. --- Bend your elbow so that you can pat your solar plexes with your hand. Move your hand to go beyond your other elbow and then back as far as it can go. Exhale on the movement towards the other elbow. 5X on 5th time stop at the motion towards the other elbow and make an arc over your head with your hand to bring hand back down to the side. --- Here are some other shoulder exercises as well. I hope this helps you. take it slow and gentle as the pain allows.

| Problem solved. Not sure if it's because I increased the altitude of my monitor at work, or started taking Glucosamine Sulphate, or Cod Liver Oil, all of which I did simultaneously, or any combo of the aforementioned, but it's gone!!  (skips happily to the gym!!!) KS |
