Beth see if you can get in to a bpi doc as they would know the most about your shoulder. If you can't try a regular doc and get a script to see an OT and an OT should be able to fabricate some sort of shoulder support for you so you dont have to be in pain!
Good luck,

Hey everyone,
I recently started getting pain in my bp arm. i think it might be because my shoulder is lower than the other but i dont know. it feels like a dull strong pain from my shoulder to my elbow. it also feels like the elbow is unlocking. is this because my arm is getting older and stretching. i don't know justthrowing that out there. its verypainful but hurts less when i pull it up. i do not know what kind of doctor to see, i haven't seen a specialist or and OT since i was 4. ijust feel a bit scared from the pain and uniformed. i do not know what to do. thanks for all your support.
