Shoulder pain/burning

[buzzed bait]

webmd says could be rotator cuff, could be gluten-allergy, could be ED, or you might be pregnant.....  who needs professional medical advice when you have the internet, full of unlicensed professionals!!!!

That sucks bro. Best of luck in getting it looked at and taken care of. I'm kinda glad to be 15 and not worrying about these things but I know my time is coming ?

I'm sorry, but I'm having a heck of a time feeling bad for you, but I am really jealous! I'd love to be able to fish enough to injure myself! in all seriousness though, get it checked out before it requires surgery... Or amputation!

I have basically the exact same problem.  I see a Dr. at 1:45 this afternoon.  My wife is worried that I might need surgery.  Why is she so worried?  Because if, for some reason, I wouldn't be able to fish for the rest of the summer and Fall, she may have to strangle me in my sleep.  

Let me know what he says, hope it's nothing to serious, good luck!

Hopefully it's nothing.....say the guy who has had 3 shoulder surgeries

See an orthopedic doc that specializes in shoulders. Then get a second opinion. Among other things, I tore my lower trap and rhomboid muscles off my shoulder blade in 2012 from a work injury. I had them reattached 6 months ago. This is not a common ailment and there is only one doctor in the country that performs the reattachment surgery. Only reason I brought it up is because you said you work out. Weight lifters are among those who have torn the muscles off their shoulder blades.

Prior to the injury I could fish for a week at a time. After the injury, 2-3 hours tops. After the scapular muscle reattachment surgery, I'm good for 5-6 hours.

After going to the doctors, if they still can't help you, I'll give you the number to the doctor who fixed me up(I'm still permanently disabled but I'm better than I was). He's located in KY. He developed and pioneered the surgery. I believe he's done roughly 300 scapular muscle reattachments over the last 15 years. After 2 surgeries, similar to you, I got a PM from a weightlifter who directed me towards this doctor. My turn to pay it forward

Thanks for the info and help, I'll set something up to get checked!

Recently I've noticed after a while on the water, ranges on amount of time, I start getting a burning pain with a sharp pain at a point. It's near my shoulder, more more trap area/rear shoulder.Anyone have any ideas? I'm in shape, workout 4-5 days a week. Usually I just push through it, but I almost stopped fishing this morning because of it...almost lol.

I recommended that you ice your shoulder after a day on the water it will help it heal and relieve pain I've dislocated both my shoulders so I know what your feeling also see a chiropractor first then see a orthopedic surgeon if need be. I fish three or more times a month and I'm fine you'll recover your career is not over.

Seek proper treatment from a qualified healthcare provider.....

A qualified healthcare provider can do the following:  

• order diagnostic exams
• interpret exams
• diagnose
• prescribe medications
• give proper referral to a specialist if needed  

Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen have side effects...these OTC drugs can potentially cause drug interactions with medications you might be taking.

Don't delay proper treatment, hope you have a speedy recovery.
