I am 30Yrs, Male, 5 11 , 92Kgs. I have been playing badminton for more than 10Yrs. Recently, I have got a severe shoulder pain when I hit a smash. This pain lasts for around 2-3 mins and then subsides to a low levels, but keep recurring whenever I hit a smash or try to throw a ball. The cause may be when sometime back I threw a ball underarm and experienced excruciating pain. Please advise.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are having internal soft tissue injury in the shoulder joint which is causing such sever pain on sudden movements like smashing, throwing ball etc. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done 1. Clinical examination of shoulder joint 2. X-ray of affected shoulder joint 3. MRI of affected shoulder joint. If it is soft tissue injury like ligament or meniscus injury then arthroscopic intervention is needed. If MRI is normal then simple rest and warm water pad application are needed. So consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
