Update 10/2/12

Had a MRI done and the results are as follows:

There is a 9mm x 8mm tear of the insertional foot print of supraspinatus tendon on the greater tuberosity. There is a large amount of fluid in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa.

So, I am scheduled for an op later this month and should be one-arm hero for the next 6-8 weeks. Doctor said I should not drive....


I strained my right deltoid muscles (the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder) and feel an excruciating pain everytime I try to lift my arm, even for simple things like brushing teeth. It has been a few months already. I suspect that I strained it lifting my luggage up and down overhead compartments in the plane. I cannot remember which month or which plane.

Have tried TCM massage several times but not effective. So, I was advised to seek the help of a sports therapist. Anyone to recommend?

Might be more than a strain since it has been a few months? You might want to consider visiting a orthopedic specialist and he might diagnose to see if a MRI is necessary. Tore my MCL and I went to see one in Raffles hospital about a year ago. They will usually recommend physio therapy which can be helpful depending on the methods they use.

I did explore those TCM. But it got worse. Sometimes the more you apply pressure to the inflamed region, the worser it gets. Just be mindful of that. TCM doesn't help if it isn't muscle-related.

It's just muscle pain... like a sharp pain when I lift my right arm. Very "sng" and "bo lark" kinda feeling. I won't jump into any medication before I see a doctor.

Could it SLAP lesion? I had that and the orthopaedic doc gave me a course of NSAID, 1 week ok liao. Sometimes its the inflammation of the muscle tissues thats causing the pain. Once inflammation goes away, pain also subsides.

Neurofen and Aleve subside the inflammation. If they do not work, it means that your inflammation is very serious or you suffer from a non-muscle related injury.

Having said that Neurofen and Aleve help with very minor inflammation. If your area of injury is wide, it will not work well. The really good anti-inflammatory drug must be subscribed by docs and usually they will give you gastric discomfort if you haven't got a good stomach.

Pain is usually caused by inflammation no matter what injury you suffer from. Once the inflammation is gone, if you still feel an acute pain in the bone, that is definitely an internal joint injury. That is why it is important to get rid of the inflammation first before we can focus on the right pain.

I understand that this involves the joint but I do not feel any joint pain at all.

Actually if you are describing a short person.... Would it not be.... Feet cannot touch the floor, have to hop off the seat? Also have to get assistance to push the seat back cos got no leverage...

Pls thank me for correcting your analogy.

Btw, any relation to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental.... No names mentioned.
