I am C6 inc functionally and use a manual chair always.  I am transferring
in/out of a low Honda civic a few times daily, taking chair apart, etc.  I
have not fallen but recently injured my shoulder somehow.  I have a
piercing pain behind my shoulder blade that extends into my neck, and down
the side of my arm to my elbow.  The pain down the side of my arm feels
like a pulled tricep or deltoid.  I can still do daily activities with some
pain, but when it comes to putting all my weight on it to transfer (from a
low to high place), it is weak, painful and sometimes gives out
mid-transfer.  Could an ER diagnose something like this or should I see a
specialist?  It has been staying the same and not getting better over 2
weeks, using ibuprofen and heat.
Thanks,

Todd
