What could be the reason for having pain in shoulder even after taking medicines?
Patient: My husband had an ecoli infection in his blood, his kidneys shut down, high fever. We went to the ER and spent 5 days in the hospital being treated with massive amounts of antibiotics. He has had left shoulder pain which goes into his upper back, up his neck and into the base of the skull. On a scale of 1-10 this is above a 10. This has been going on for 12 days now with no relief even when on pain meds. Any idea what this could be? Doctor: hellowelcome to HCM.if it is a post infectious artritis it would be gone after NSAID drugs.i think this may be from impingement syndrome..you should consult an orthopaedician for it.proper clinical examinations and investigations are needed.hope this is helpful.regards.
