Hi, I seem to have suddenly developed a really bad pain in my upper arm. I now have trouble moving my arm, it hurts to touch my muscle and I can not lift my arm in to certain positions. I have recently started a new job that invlolves 8 hr shifts on the PC....could it be RSI? I really hope not as I need this job, but I haven't done anything to strain the muscle.
dive...OK, then it certainly sounds a muscular problem and I would suggest taking an anti-inflammatory drug such as Ibuprofen 600mgs to relieve the pain and if that doesn't settle it down after one week, then see your GP for further investigation.
are you taking cod liver oil by any chance ?I took it for a while and after a couple of weeks I could not lift my arm up and my shoulder and surrounding chest was really sore.When I stopped taking it I was ok !!
