Why do my shoulders feel pain when I run? ?

Question

When I run my shoulders hurt really bad. Is it serious? How do I stop it?

Answer 1

It could be the tension in your upper body plus the pounding.  You may have a lot of nots in your neck as well.  I would see a chiropractor to make sure its not serious and he could make any adjustments if needed.   You'll feel a lot better, I bet!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I'm the head of our church's youth outreach program. I have to play basketball a lot with the kids, but I'm not as young as they are, and it's hard on my body. I've got tendonitis in my knees, and if you've ever tried playing basketball with bad knees, you know what pain is about. I used to take the usual pain relievers, but ! I thought a minister ought to be taking something natural. I tried different herbal products, and Eazol works the best. All I can say is, praise the Lord!

Answer 3

Some ideas for you

Go see your doctor to find out why they hurt and if necessary ask for some medication to help with the pain

Perhaps some chiropractic treatment may help, perhaps your body is out of alignment and the running is causing a jarring motion on your shoulders

Check out your runners or shoes - perhaps you need to get  something with a springy type base which will absorb the impact of your running

Perhaps you are suffering from stress and you are also holding your shoulders tight as you run and its causing them to hurt - check out your posture as you run
