Welcome to the page where our most recent medical questions are displayed.
All health questions submitted to Ask Doctor Cameron are read and categorised before they appear on the site so you might notice a slight delay from the time you ask your medical question until it appears on line for others to read. We receive well over a hundred questions each day and try to post them as quickly as possible.
Doctor Cameron tries to answer as many of your queries as possible each day but you’ll realise that it’s impossible to reply to everything that is asked. If you feel it is very important that you receive a reply quickly then please consider using our Private Reply service. You can find details of this by following the link at the top of each page.
We ask you to provide an email address and a name when you ask your medical question but we don’t publish either of these on the site. We feel it is important to protect your privacy and your confidentiality.
Once you have posted your medical question you can check back to see if it has been answered by returning to the site and either browsing around or - more quickly - by using the search function to the right of each page.
Thanks for using our service.
We hope you find it helpful.

I got a flu shot in mid october and since then I have had upper shoulder pain. I am at the point where I am having trouble putting on my coat. It is getting worse. Is this a weird side effect of the shot or some really weird coincidence? I had no problems at all before the shot. A new symptom started today. I am feeling a slight burning inside my joint.

I have had pain and stiffness in my neck for the last 5months. The pain in my neck has subsided however it still feels tight. When i look down it feels as if my right shoulder blade is being lifted. I have had various blood tests and a c spine x ray which all came back clear. Physio has been of little benefit. I now also experience pain in my shoulder and shoulder blade (right side) after 10 mins of lying on my rightside in bed. I constantly wake every 2hrs or so completely stiff in my shoulder and thoracic area on back. Pain killers and anti inflammatories have made little difference. When i feel really bad i experience a stabbing pain in the muscle between right shoulder blade and spine followed by an ache in my neck which makes me feel very lethargic. Does any one have any ideas what this could be. A rotator cuff problem has been advised by physio.
