Avatar n tn ve been suffering with Left shoulder,scapula,clavicle pain for about a year. The pain radiates down my left forearm. The pain is really bad at night and my husband rubs my left shoulder/scapula every single night. Saw an Ortho Dr who suggested bursitis and I've had 2 cortisone injections with each one relieving the pain for a month or so. I've also had shortness of breath for about 6 months (42 yrs old this month).
Avatar n tn Iam having the same pain back pain shoulder pain and neck pain all in the left side but it all started right after a breast biopsy and its been giong on for a yr.I have no idea what it could be if you find something out please post it THANKS....
Avatar n tn I am sorry to hear about your pain. If you had thyroid cancer then you should ideally get a bone scan done to rule out any cancer in the bone. It can also be a referred pain from abdomen like stomach ulcers, acidity, pancreatitis, or from the chest like in heart attack, pericarditis, pleuritis, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolus. Please discuss with your doctor. You need some urgent tests. Take care!
Avatar m tn My wife has had severe upper back and neck pain since last September (initially diagnosed as lyme disease, later discredited as not lyme). From what I've been reading, back/neck pain is a common symptom of spine metastasis (among many other things). So my question is, would a bone scan detect whether the cancer has spread to spine?
Avatar m tn I feel like i am dying any second now. I feel I have lung cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, adrenal cancer, you name it...i got it. I am so sick of this...time to see doc again! So yah...basically my question is does anyone else get these shooting pains? How about the chest pains?
Avatar f tn I have had a lot of pain in the left side of my neck and jaw, with a lump above my left side of collar bone. Pain started over 2weeks ago. But as i was waiting for my breast biopys results, doctor couldnt do anything but give me pain killers and wasnt that intrested in the lump. My breast biopys came back fine. So now i have to go back and doctor again to sort out the pain ive got. I had a ctscan in Febuary to find out how much damge ive got to my kidney due to kidney stone.
Avatar m tn initially i had a little pain for 7 weeks above my left collar bone but now for the last 3 weeks, the pain is now on both sides of neck at my gland area. i also have a pain down my left side of neck, I also have itching and redness at front of neck. I also feel as if i have a lump at base of neck all the time not only when I swallow. i had a blood test and the doctor said i did not have an infection as my white blood cell count is ok.
Avatar n tn I have alot of neck pain it also goes into the base of my head and across my shoulders. I had an xray & the report reads- slight reversal of normal lordotic curvature. Degenerative disk narrowing and end-plate osteophyte formation C4-C5, C5-C6.No obvious frature or subluxation. What does this mean. What options are there. I've done P.T. and Chro. not much help. My neck has continued to give me problems. I wake in night and in the am, I can not turn my head.
Avatar m tn The lump thing on my jaw has me concerned, but I have no idea if its typical of bone cancer or not. Also, with all the CT scans, and with my recent normal blood count, can I rule out cancer? Ive had this uneasy anxiety about having cancer for two years, and I would think something major would have shown by now, atleast in my blood counts. The anxiety just came on one day, and it just hasnt left. Thanks for your help!

Avatar n tn About 6 months ago started noticing pain on the lower inner portion of left scapula, along with neck pain upon moving it certain ways, and tingling in upper left back and arms (infrequent in the arm) Also have been told that I have several "stress knots" in the area of the pain. Muscles always very tight and tense. Went to get an x-ray of thoracic back, as my doctor thinks I mught have some kind of muscle or nerve issue, he stated he wanted to rule out any "bone issues or tumors.
Avatar m tn A few days ago I yawned, and had this extreme pain in my upper neck, right below my chin. I have experienced this pain before, but not like this. After the yawn occurred, I experienced massive head pain. The pain did not stop, and has continued threw the week. And I also have experienced the neck pain every so often. But now, after over talking/volunteering, I'm experiencing the pain non stop, And my head hurts quite a lot. Also when I lay my head down I can feel a very hard beat in my head.
383138 tn?1314167773 For the past couple months I have increasing, worsening and spreading bone pain (like sharp constant ache) in my left leg bone (both upper bone & lower bone) and left hip - It started coming and going a few months ago, but has continued to worsen and progress and now the pain is mostly constant and is getting quite severe, nothing relieves it, certain days are worse than others.
Avatar f tn It got better for sometime but started again. Now the situation is that one day I have pain in my arm, neck, upper back, shoulder and breast on the right side and next day on the left side. The pain gets better with rest. I had a good sleep last night, was cautious of my sleep position so there was pain in the morning. I am concerned that why isn't it going away? Can someone help me?
Avatar f tn Hi, went to doc's today about lump on neck just above collar bone and another higher up on other side of neck. Had these for a couple of months and apparently have more smaller lumps that I hadn't noticed. Doc thinks all ok and nothing sinister but feeling a bit worried anyway.
712802 tn?1274645485 leg, collar bone, arm, sternum, etc. I have had scans - no cancer - but the bone pain feels like a rod inside my bones in various places. It is worse on some days, but I haven't been able to find a connection to anything. I'm wondering if anyone else has pain like this and if there is an explanation?
Avatar f tn I let the doctor know that it was not familiar pain as I have chronic pain in my back and go for epidurals every 3 months. Because I have the history of cancer, he wanted a bone scan done. Now he is saying since the bone scan doesn't show a fracture so I don't have one. THe MRI is incorrect and it is probably tissue. The bone scan only indicated degenerative change in the L4 and L5 vertebral bodies with moderate increased bone uptake and no evidence of metastatic disease.

1503643 tn?1311518238 I have had cervical cancer, thyroid cancer that metastisized to the lymph nodes in 2003. radiation and 5 surgeries on my neck. I was told that I no longer have thyroid cancer. Biopsies taken back in April said lymphoid proliferation and lymphoid dysplasia. I was told that I have a virus. Then when I saw the doctors last week. They said the swollen lymph nodes have been going on too long to be a virus that it looks like lymphoma. We are going to do another cbc at the end of the month.

1029507 tn?1287714315 I was on Neurontin and then Lyrica for nerve pain while undiagnosed. I've taken NSAIDs (both OTC and Rx) which at best take the edge off of my joint pain. I haven't had pain that is both bad and persistent enough to make me consider other options. While I've had periods of more intense pain, they have thankfully been relatively brief. My best (untrained lay-person!) advice is to be open with your doc about the type and severity of pain so that they can do their best to help.
