The first thing to do is to stop moving your shoulder immediately, take proper rest, and clarify the cause of push-up shoulder pain, such as local strain, ligament strain, nerve injury, etc. The treatment includes physical therapy, medication, surgery and other treatment modalities.
1. Localized strain: If the load is too heavy during push-ups, it leads to localized muscle strain and accumulation of lactic acid, thus causing shoulder pain. Treatment can be proper rest or acupuncture, massage and other treatments to relieve pain.
2. Ligament injury: Inadequate warm-up before push-ups leads to local ligament strain, causing tissue edema, which results in shoulder pain. Physical therapy such as acupuncture and cupping can be given to alleviate the pain, and if the pain is obvious, pain relieving tablets such as diclofenac sodium and celecoxib can be taken orally.
3. Nerve injury: due to improper posture when push-ups cause nerve injury such as brachial plexus nerve injury, followed by shoulder pain, treatment includes oral nutritional nerve drugs, such as methylcobalamin, and so on, serious cases need to be treated with surgery.
Shoulder pain after push-ups, please consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease before treatment.
