Shoulder pain
I don't know when it happened suddenly I'm feeling pain in my left shoulder joint if I try to pick anything from behind me.
Now after treatment it was fine for 2-3 months again it has comeback.. But this time if crack my fingers and wrists .. I won't feel the pain.. but without cracking I feel the slight sharp pain.
One more thing when I took the treatment from a orthopaedic.. he prescribed me Mantoux test .. and the result was more than 10mm or something.. what I read over internet is that is used for TB test.. Now I wonder did that test really used to check TB or it'll be used to find any other details ? I'm really confused now which doctor to approach.
