Is it normal the back of my shoulder feels twisted and dislocated

I was playing guitar all day yesterday (like 7-8 hours) in an uncomfortable position and when I got out of bed this morning the left side of my back (behind the left shoulder) felt so painful and weird, like a cramp but worse, then I stretched my whole body and felt a little bit better...

    You've strained your tendons and they're probably inflamed: longterm it's called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome if you're silly enough to let it become chronic, or at this stage Repetitive Strain Injury, so stop playing guitar for so long and in uncomfortable positions or it will become permanent and you won't be able to play at all!

    Stay away from the guitar for a day or so, rest your arm and shoulder, check if heat or cold relieves it (probably a cold pack will help) and if you can get hold of some anti-inflammatories, which DO NOT take on an empty stomach.

    Great you're so passionate about your music and I've done pretty much the same thing on the keyboard when I'm in a passionate state about my writing or patchwork or mosaic work, but it's not a good idea long term, believe me

            So your comment is redundant.

    • I literally just mentioned the guitar one time in the whole post because I think it's necessary to give insight about why my back got hurt, are you stupid or something?

        You mentioned you played the guitar for 7 or 8 hours straight. I understand you wanted to give context for your injury but i also think you were bragging a little bit....just admit it. Seriously you practiced guitar for 8 hours straight? What kind of music do you play? I am honestly interested. If you practice that much you ahould be able to shred insanely. And yes...stupid is as stupid does.

        • The music I play should not interest you and has nothing to do with my injury, I mentioned the hours I played because that gives information of how many hours I was in the same slouching position, if I had said 1 hour there would be no reason for me to get injured, you twat.

            You are just a dick. I hope your shoulder is permanently damaged. I was actually trying to be nice after I realized I was kind of being a dick in the last comment. But whatever be a little prick. I hope you get sucker punched by a Bulgarian gypsy you penis shit. I was actually complimenting that you could probably shred if you practice that much. Either you are an idiot who cant comprehend what you read or you are just 2 inch penis pump. Whatever. #RichardGere

            • Well I thought you were being sarcasting and mocking me with the shred comment, it's unusual to see someone change from being a dick to nice in one comment, I was being a dick because you were a dick. If it still interests you, I play prog mostly, I honestly don't know how to shred because I'm barely getting into playing so much a day, I used to grab the guitar like once every three days until a few weeks ago.
