Pain in shoulder

[4getmenot]

Every now and then I get a very sharp pain in my shoulder. It happens more when I am on my period anybody else experienced this??Sometimes it gets so painful I am in tears and cant sleep at night.

I get that too. Very severe sharp pain, lasts less than a minute but the pain is excrutiating! Never noticed if it coincides with my period - but I will make a point next time it happens.

ps/ Im glad Im not the only one who gets it - as no one else believes me when I say how painful it is.

But its like a dull ache and lasts sometimes a whole night. My doc says to take Ibruprofen tablets whenever it starts. Apparently it is swelling on my fallopian tubes somehow connected to my shoulder. God knows how

[JulieEve]

I would certainly go back to the docs! no one should be in that sort of pain. Mine is more spasmodic and comes and goes.

Yer but what doc said has helped, I just wondered if anyone else has ever had this

hi i get the exact same thing except its in my knees and same as you its only when im on my period. a few years ago before it occured to me that the pain coincided with my period i went to the doctor and he sent me to a physiotherapist (not sure if i spelt that right) who showed me loads of excersises to do that did seem to help, although they suggested that the pain was more linked to the fact that i play badminton a lot. dont know if that helps but you should definitely go back to the doctor if its so bad you cant sleep

my mum had pains in her shoulder and the doctor told her it was trapped wind she gets someone to rub her back (like winding ababy) and it soon goes

[4getmenot]

No its not wind

hi 4getmenot i get a pain in my shoulder which travels up the back of my neck and head it usually starts a day or two before my period starts the only way i can describe it is like a severe tension, which it isnt i did go to the docs about this and he just said its hormonal, due to my period which wasnt much help, but do find that the pain goes as soon as my period starts.
