Left Shoulder Pain

i've had the problem for 5 years now. mostly during winter time.

last year i started using a different vitamin C. no problems this past winter.

not saying that's your problem. or that fixed my problem. but i'm going to keep using this different brand as long as the pain stays away.

 

I had the same problem a few years ago. My doc told me it was bursitis. If that's what you have rest and tons of motrin will help.

 

I'd say check with a doctor... could just be joint inflammation or it could be a pending heart attack. Might be something minor but chronic pain is something you should definitely have a pro check out.

 

Very good point--change your driving/sitting position on a regular basis--see if this doesn't help

 

You say you only been driving for a month it could be you body tying to adjust to the new way you have to sit for 8-10 hrs
But just in case I would get me some Aloe Vera walmart has it in the vitamin section it is not all that tasty but a lot of people use it
You Can Mix it with some juice Like V-8 that is also good 4 U
Bayer Aspirin helps keep your blood flowing if you have used it before I take one every couple of days

 

Probably just you're body is tense in the new job ... sitting at improper position, checking the mirror too constantly, stress in general. If that's the case it should ease up with time as you adjust. Sit as ergonomically correct as you can, don't let the seat down too far (higher is better so long as not all the way up with no bounce), don't leave your arms in the same position for hours at a time, change things up from time to time with how you position yourself and your arms/elbows.

 

It's called Truckers Shoulder and is in fact a strain injury. The roads are slanted to the right for rain runoff and as a safety precaution tractors are designed to pull to the right in case a driver falls asleep. Your left arm adjusts for this every second buy pulling.. They average it out to pulling 9000 plus pounds a day.. I have this and have started trying to adjust my steering techniques to control it.. I rest my left arm anytime I don't need it..

 

^This. It's a natural elbow magnet.
