Q. I am getting excruciating pain on right shoulder due to sports activity. Is it dead arm syndrome?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As mentioned by you that you might be suffering from dead arm syndrome. At present I would suggest you to follow price protocol, that is protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

I would suggest you to stop doing any sports activities which aggravate your pain. Once pain subsides you need to strengthen the shoulder muscles as this condition develops due to weak shoulder muscles. I would suggest consulting any physiotherapist to learn how to strengthen your muscles. It is very important before you proceed to play otherwise you might get reinjury. If your condition does not improves within a week consult any physiotherapist.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
