    Re: Terrible shoulder injury pls help

    Hi,
    sounds like you're still treating it as if there was a biomechanical problem, although that should have healed a long time ago.
    Any pain that is persistent for more than 3 months gets classified as "Chronic Pain". By this stage your pain pathways (in the brain) will have changed. And your treatment should focus on genera functional aspects rather than injury site specific.
    Have you tried getting a consultation from a multidisciplinary Pain Clinic/ Service?

    Good luck,
    Fyzzio

    thanks for taking time to reply

    no so far ive seen this year a private healthcare shoulder speciliast, chest speciliast and rhuemastism specialist. Lots of blood tests and xrays and mri's - everything has come back fine!!!

    feels really sore and tight again tonight. Sometimes a dull ache but tonight more short sharp stabbing pains :-(
