Shoulder Pain

It feels as if my shoulder hurts underneath the ball and socket joint. Also, there is some relief when I stretch the top of my trapezius but not much. It is incredibly painful. Anybody have any idea what this could be? I am not familiar with shoulder problems.

    Honestly it's very difficult to diagnose over the internet. Not to mention that no one here is a doctor and all shoulder pain isn't created equal.

    I would suggest going to your doctor or doing a Google search for you symptoms. Keep in mind though that whatever responses you DO get from MFP or a Google search may not be what is actually wrong so you could be treating something that you don't have. I messed up my foot doing insanity and running in those 5 finger shoes and a Google search and a talk with my sister all pointed to a neuroma. I was treating it the way the internet told me to and when it didn't get better I went to a podiatrist. Turned out my pain wasn't even close to a neuroma (it has to do with my having high arches and being a ball-of-the-foot runner) and what I was doing to treat it was the worse possible thing I could have ever done.

    I'm not saying you might not be able to pin point it via the internet and questions but just be aware.
