Hello Uma Ji,

We're sorry to hear about your husband's long-standing shoulder pain, which has now become unbearable. Given that he has been experiencing this pain for the past 10 years and that it has recently worsened, a thorough evaluation is essential. To better understand his condition, could you please share a few additional details?

  • Is the pain constant or intermittent?
  • Does it radiate to his arm, neck, or other areas?
  • Has there been any recent injury or change in his daily activities?
  • What treatments has he tried so far, if any (medications, physiotherapy, injections, etc.)?

Based on your description, his pain might be due to issues such as rotator cuff problems, arthritis, or other shoulder pathologies. In the meantime, here are some general tips and precautions that may help manage his symptoms:

  • Activity Modification: Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting. Rest the shoulder and refrain from movements that worsen the pain.
  • Posture and Ergonomics: Maintain good posture during daily activities. Using ergonomic supports at home or work can reduce shoulder strain.
  • Cold/Heat Therapy: Depending on his symptoms, applying an ice pack for 15–20 minutes several times a day may help reduce inflammation, or a warm compress might help relax tense muscles.
  • Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers can help control discomfort. Please follow the dosage guidelines and your doctor’s advice.
  • Gentle Exercises: Once his acute pain subsides, gentle range-of-motion exercises or physical therapy may help improve flexibility and strengthen the shoulder. These should be started only after consulting with a specialist.

We strongly recommend that he consults in person with an orthopedic or musculoskeletal specialist for a detailed evaluation and personalized treatment plan. There is nothing to worry about if you consult with your doctor—proper evaluation and management can make a significant difference in his quality of life.

Take care,

Hello Kamal,

Good morning and thank you for reaching out. I understand that you are experiencing pain from your back to your thighs, which can be concerning. To help determine the cause and provide appropriate guidance, I would like to ask a few questions:

  1. Symptom Details:

    • When did the pain start, and is it constant or intermittent?
    • Can you describe the type of pain (sharp, dull, burning, etc.)?
    • Is the pain localized in specific areas or does it radiate?

  2. Aggravating and Relieving Factors:

    • Do you notice any activities or positions that worsen or alleviate the pain?
    • Have you experienced any recent injuries or changes in physical activity?

  3. Medical History:

    • Have you had any previous back problems or related issues?
    • Are there any other symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in bladder/bowel function?

  4. Current Impact:

    • How is the pain affecting your daily activities and quality of life?

Based on your responses, further evaluation may be needed—this might include a physical examination and diagnostic tests (such as X-rays or MRI) to identify the underlying cause. Conditions like muscle strain, nerve impingement, or even spinal issues can contribute to such symptoms.

For now, I recommend avoiding activities that exacerbate the pain and applying gentle heat or cold packs as per your comfort. Please follow up with a thorough evaluation by a specialist to ensure a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

If you need further assistance or help scheduling a consultation, please let us know. We're here to guide you.

Take care,
