What can cause pain and burning sensation in the shoulder and forearms?
Patient: im 18 and I was lifting boxes 3 days straight, my right arm hurts in my shoulder and bicep, sometimes my forearm burns. I can t lift my arm or bend it. What do i do to treat this besides ice and how long will it take to heal. I assume its tendinitis but I have no insurance for a doctor. Doctor: Hi,  I have read your details and in my opinion, you are suffering from overuse injury of shoulder muscles and biceps, may have affected the neck also.  I suggest that you take painkillers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy apart from hot fomentation now. it is likely to take 3-4 weeks.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
