Can Someone Please Help Me???????

I am sure this post won't do anything now since your dr. apt is for tomorrow. It's really hard to diagnosis without the proper equipment such as X-rays. There are a number of things that could cause shoulder pain. Although, because of his line of work it sounds like something caused by injury from heavy lifting. Bursitis can be caused by the slightest lifting, even lifting groceries into a car could do that. Bursitis can be treated with ice compresses not heat. Anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin could help. It could be anything. Here are a list of conditions that can cause shoulder pain: Bursitis or Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, Rotator Cuff Tear, Frozen Shoulder,calcific tendonitis, shoulder instability, shoulder dislocation, shoulder separation, labral tear, SLAP lesion, Arthritis, or Biceps Tendon Rupture. Therefore, the best solution is to see the doctor which it seems you're making that step so good thinking. Hang in there and try to be patient with him, remember he's in pain, he doesn't mean to be annoying. Good Luck!

Hi everyone,

Well just got home a little while ago and found out some better news than we were looking for.

My husband has nothing wrong with his bones. He has tendonitis, so the doctor told him to ice it, as he has been doing and to take some tylenol 3 that he wrote a prescription for but my husband will not take it because it constipates him really bad.

So basically we do the same as we have been, my husband will keep icing the area and he will take his aleve, unless someone here has a better solution. I think he should take the tylenol 3 but he told me he would rather live through the pain in his shoulder than be backed up down there.

We went to the best doctor around too, he is very well known throughout our tri county.

I wish there was something else I could do for him but there really isn't.

Thanks for all of your wishes, I hope he gets better.

Tell him to try this for a day to help with constipation and take the tylenol 3. To help to get his bowels moving he should increase his fiber intake with an addition of bran foods and drink plenty of fluids. Exercise/Increase Ambulation (even as simple as walking) will help to propel the colon contents so that is something he may want to try.
