Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I have noticed that my shoulders are uneven, with the right side slightly lower than the left, but I am not sure what the reason for this is. I experience tightness but no pain or other symptoms.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Dear, looking into your problem, we can determine that if there is dominance in the shoulder or if you are lifting heavy weights in the gym, there can be a chance of one muscle undergoing hypertrophy more than the other. Additionally, after increasing muscle mass, there can be variations. Sometimes, if there is a lag in the range of movement of the joint, the findings can be similar. Therefore, my suggestion is to conduct an ultrasonic test on both shoulders to assess the condition of the rotator cuffs, deltoid, and biceps muscles. This will guide us in formulating a treatment plan.

 

Thanks
