Re: 17 YO girl with severe pain
when i was 15-17 i'd commonly have shoulder/ scapula pain, it felt like that part of my arm was on fire. it was incredibly painful. i used to alternate between hot and cold compresses and take pain meds and that would usually do the trick. it sometimes flares up when i'm standing for long periods of time or running

no external rotation against gravity, can only go to 90 degree fwd flexion, no hand-to-mouth
1 surgery at age 14 (latissimus dorsi transfer). In 2004, at age 28 I was struck with Transverse Myelitis which paralyzed me from the chest down. I recovered movement to my right leg, but need a KAFO to walk on my left leg. I became an RN in 2008. - Location: Montreal, Qc, Canada

Re: 17 YO girl with severe pain
I would suggest she see a PT and OT, to try to figure out what makes it worse and how she can change the way she does certain movements. A lot of the pain may be due to muscle strain.
