hi my name is Emily blunt , i'm 16 years old and i suffer from pain in shoulders ! i started having this pain after joining the basketball team !like my shoulders don't hurt me while playing , but in the break or when i go home i feel the pain , it's so painful that sometimes i cry , it's like there is a needle stuck in the shoulder's bone !!! i asked my mother and she told me that her family are known for having weak shoulders !! and she told me that i can't play basketball again , but basketball is really important to me ! like i'm a sporty girl and i love sports ! so ... what can i do to stop the pain ? oh and by the way , everybody i know comments on the way i walk , they say that i don't walk in a proper way , like i walk with a bending in my back ! it's like a habit but i can change it ! mum says that may be if i walked properly the pain will disappear !! so ... what's your advice ? please help me as soon as possible !
Hi Emily,

I'm one of the worst for slouching :-( unfortunately. But your posture can be improved by just a bit of concentration. There's some good info on the internet about this: http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Your-Posture is a good starting point.

The pain in your shoulders after basketball sounds like something a physiotherapist could help you with.

you should see an orthopedic i fell down the stairs at home and dislocated my shoulder and my shoulder goes out all the time, and it hurts. i think you should get a referral to see an orthopedic. They will let you know if you need treatment. That can be very serious.
