Ok first of all, I know that alcohol dehydrates the body. I also know that because of that, it pulls it out of the muscles which can cause the pain. My problem is, when I drink, I instantly (within 60 seconds) have pain in my shoulders. Many people said that can't be right because alcohol doesn't enter the blood stream that quickly. While that may be true, I know my muscles hurting is not just in my mind. It has always done this. It is mainly the muscles in my shoulder.
I DO have problems with my shoulders when I'm not drinking though. I cannot walk for long without my shoulders being in a lot of pain. It feels like they are sagging and i have to prop them onto something to ease the pain.
The alcohol though, causes instant pain no matter if my shoulders are elevated or not.
Can anyone give me any insight? Thanks I really appreciate it.
