Q: Pain after dislocated fractured shoulder

HI... I dislocated and fractured my shoulder 20yrs ago in a diving accident. I have a pin the the shoulder. In the last couple of months it's really started to ache. I also have problems with movement... reaching for things.. even pushing the car door open hurts. It also keeps me awake at night. Went to the hospital for an x-ray a couple of days ago so just waiting for results. On ibropufen for pain but not much help. Any ideas what could be causing this.

The pin may have to be taken out or replaced...After this many years and all the movement involved, this could be the culprit...I know my Mother had problems with the pin in her thigh...She was warned ahead of time that this would happen and it did...Either way, good luck...
