Massage your shoulders, but the more you press it, the more tired you get? 3 acupuncture points teach you quick relief

◆Left shoulder pain

Frozen shoulder is shoulder pain centered on the shoulder joint that can limit shoulder movement. Aging and excessive fatigue of the shoulder joint and muscles around the shoulder are often the causes.

Since the sensory nerves of shoulder pain and heart pain are close to each other and are located in the posterior corner of the spinal cord, when there is a problem with the heart, it can also reflexively cause pain in the left shoulder, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.

The difference between the two is that the pain in the left shoulder caused by heart disease is mostly related to activity, which occurs during activity, is paroxysmal, and is regular; Rest or nitroglycerin may provide relief. The pain caused by frozen shoulder usually occurs after exertion and cannot be relieved by rest or nitroglycerin.

◆ Right shoulder pain

Acute gallbladder inflammation can irritate the nerve endings of the right phrenic phrenic muscle, causing reflex pain in the skin of the right shoulder.

The phrenic nerve is composed of the 3rd~5th cervical nerve, mainly the 4th cervical nerve, and its branches are distributed on the skin of the shoulder. When the right phrenic nerve terminal is stimulated and passes through the phrenic nerve to the 4th cervical ganglion, the cerebral cortex is mistaken for afferent pain in the right shoulder.

Therefore, when the pain in the right shoulder is difficult to relieve, color ultrasound examination can be done to rule out cholecystitis, if cholecystitis is diagnosed, the shoulder pain can be relieved by anti-infection, antispasmodic and analgesic treatment.

My neck and shoulders hurt, and my family pressed them, and I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable, but it didn't take long for the condition to recur. This is where other diseases come into consideration.

For example, cervical radiculopathy caused by nerve heel edema is the most common cervical spondylosis, and when the disease occurs acutely, massage, massage, and traction must not be performed, otherwise it will aggravate nerve root edema and worsen the condition.

The correct approach: first through systematic treatment to eliminate nerve root edema, and then by a professional doctor to massage, massage, traction and other treatments.

Inexplicable pain in the shoulder and neck: bone metastasis of spinal malignant tumors is more common, and most of the patients are middle-aged and elderly people aged 40~70 years old, and they are often misdiagnosed because their symptoms are not specific. The thoracic spine is the most common site of spinal malignant tumors, followed by the lumbar spine, cervical spine and sacral spine.

Pain and nerve dysfunction in the limbs are a sign of a spinal tumor. Depending on the location of the tumor, the pain may include neck and shoulder pain, back pain, and low back pain, and radiate to the upper limbs, intercostal areas, and legs.

Therefore, when there is inexplicable strong pain in the neck and shoulder, do not mistake it as "frozen shoulder", and go to the hospital for CT examination.

In addition, when lung cancer compresses the patient's brachial plexus, it can also cause shoulder pain. Different from frozen shoulder, lung cancer has many other symptoms in addition to vague pain in the chest and shoulder, such as cough and hemoptysis that cannot be cured for a long time.

To treat a sore shoulder, you can usually turn your head in a different direction. Rotate your shoulders back or even stretch your waist. You can also apply a warm compress after returning home from work, or spray warm water on the sore area during the shower, which also has a certain soothing effect.
