i have had shoulder pain for more than 3 monthes after a swimming injury. i have pain in my shoulder before (even when not swimming) but i didnt take it seriously but after the injury it hurt enough to see a doc. i got x-rays done, been having physical therapy twice a week for 3 monthes and seen a sports medicine physician. i got a mri but my doc said its normal but i requested a copy and it stated:
-benign nodes in shoulder
- fluid in bursa
i have cracking, unbearable pain (with a high pain tolerance), and im on anti-inflammatories, and taping on shoulder but no less pain.
i am also worried because i have found a lump on my collarbone about 6 monthes ago, and forgot about it. now in the shower the other day i felt it and its gotten wayyy bigger.
could the nodes in my shoulder be cancerous? is the lump bad? its on the same side of my injured shoulder so could it be causing pain?
also, im only 13 so how do i tell my parents about the lump,they may not believe me. 10 points!

I am a 17 year old male around 130 pounds very active. I play tennis, but have chronic back, knee and general joint pain. When I was 15 years old I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis. Later that year I experienced a stress fracture in my femur and developed longer term tendinitis in my ankles and knees. Low grade pain medication have not worked in the slightest bit, and I don’t want to be on pain killers or anything of the sort. My parents are opposed to chiropractors and physical therapy. What can i do to get some relief……. i want to try a session with a massage therapist specializing in chronic back pain (shes a family friend) or a chiropractor. What do you suggest???
Lately my lower back by the back of my pelvis, I experience sharp but mostly aching pain sometimes followed by numbness and throbbing. It’s very close to the nerves, and the vertebrates in my back are sensitive to the touch and if pressed on correctly, I will experience extremely sharp pain.

well first of all i am a basketball player 5′9 and can grab rim but in the beginning of the season i had to do physical rehab for my knee they gave me some things that would make me run and jump higher i am in good shape but my overall flexibility is moderately bad. so my question is if you can give me some stretches that improve range of motion and flexibility that would be awesome and or pointers in jumping higher. and if you can back it up that would be great but if you cant thats all right by the way my knee is fine now.
Hi! I’m in physical therapy for a back injury. I’ve had 4 courses of physical therapy before this, but it’s always just been working out and then a TENS unit; this time I’m having deep tissue massage and ultrasound, which is essentially just heat, so when my doctor knows that heat makes me feel 10X worse, I don’t know why he wrote a prescription for that. I have brachial plexus neuralgia too, so this pain is now radiating down my arms and I have no strength (can’t lift my arms more than an inch off my sides)… and before I got that done yesterday, I could move them a good 6-8 inches. I also have a pounding headache and I’m typing w/ one finger right now because I can’t move my hands.
I’m allergic to a LOT of medications, but what I have at home that I’m not allergic to is: Zanaflex 8mg (a muscle relaxer for spinal cord injuries), Darvocet (mild narcotic), and then plain old Motrin. Which would be most effective for the type of problems I’m having? Thank you!

Can physical therapy re tear or strain the ligament again? Because the pain is darn near as bad as it was pre operation.
I will award 10 points after 4 hours.
