Avatar m tn Arm is numb from above elbow to fingertips and have stabbing pain in shoulder and outer bicep. Also have pain radiating to fingers and a 90% loss of grip. I think there's alot not explained before surgery.
Avatar n tn In addition, if u have EDS in addition that is hypermobile joints...and ur joint may pop in and out and that may cause the pain and inflamation in that area also....do u notice shoulder pain when lying on ur side to sleep? Most of us tend to have issues with bulging disks and DDD so I guess it is possible that some of it could also be a form of arthritis. May I ask is ur dr a chiari specialist?? Maybe u would want a second opinion if ur dr is not hearing ur concerns.
Avatar f tn Almost 9 months after beginning treatments, my neck is now much more relaxed, and the shoulder pain is completely gone and I sleep with a brace on my right arm when needed at night. It is a bit of a pain, but my tingling can get so bad that it down right hurts and wakes me up multiple times. Once I put it on, it completely eases off almost immediately. Your energy level is probably decreasing, because you are being robbed of your sleep.
Avatar n tn I also have been suffering with shoulder and neck pain, and even upper back. I was wondering if the two could be related. I was tested for hormonal problems, thyroid problems, myalgias, and anything else they routinely test for when they take your blood. I was given a low dose of antiepressant to help me sleep at night so I am not awakened with the pain. This helps at night, but I am getting weary of the constant ache.
Avatar n tn Hello- I've been having a nagging pain in my neck and shoulder blade( mostly on the left shoulder blade) for several months now. I have always thought it is either my mattress or pillow that's causing it and have changed several to no sucess. I went to a orthopedician last year and he made me do a bunch of hand/leg movements and also took xrays, which were all normal. He suggested I get an MRI (which I didnt get, since I wasnt very happy with the doctor).
535758 tn?1213715961 Problems from this area do cause pain into the arm and shoulders. There is always scar tissue. I have permanent neck and shoulder pain since my surgery (and before). As well as pain into my shoulder blades. I had all these problems before surgery. So really, the surgery did not help me at all.
Avatar f tn I fell down about 14 steel stairs coming off of guard duty in Afghanistan in full kit. I was knocked out for a min or so and figured I just had whiplash and a concussion but after 3 days of basically no sleep and a baseball size welt on my neck I was medivaced to a hospital where I had an MRI and the neurosurgeon said I had some torn ligaments in between my C3-C4-C5. I was in a neckbrace for 7 weeks and was having bad muscle spasms so I had botox injections in my neck and shoulder.
Avatar n tn My son had similar problems with his neck and shoulder, and he is only 20 yrs. old. What I did was I took him an orthopedic specialist. He treated him conservatively with the muscle relaxers, etc. By the third visit I demanded he do an MRI to find out what's going on. He had an MRI on his neck and shoulder. They found a torn ligament in his shoulder. You really should get at the least, x-rays, but an MRI is better. You need to know what's going on.
Avatar m tn ve seen a board certified interventional spine and pain specialist? If a majority of your neck and shoulder pain is a result of facet joint hypertrophy, interventional pain procedures may help in reducing pain by 50% or more, as they have in my case.
Avatar f tn These help with pain, but I have developed an itchy, unremitting rash on my right shoulder and should probably stop taking meds to see if any of them are causing it? I tried glucosamine but the pain and cracking remained and sometimes my head hurts on the right side too. I also have Hashimoto’s (TPO antibodies over 1,000) take 75mcg Levoxyl per day. There is a 1.2cm nodule on the right side of thyroid- it was ruled benign after biopsy.
1710955 tn?1309446473 I had an MRI done and it showed two bulging discs on my C5/ C6 area, a tear in my tendon, along with impingement on the nerve. The pain radiated down my left side of my neck, into the shoulder and down the left arm to my fingers. It was the most excruciating pain ever! I thought I was having a heart attack because it was all on my left side and the pain was absolutely unbearable. During the day, it was so bad, except for lifting my arm. i couldn't... Too much pain.
Avatar m tn What may be causing a very serious pain I have been having which starts at the back of my head and neck on my left, goes down to my shoulder and across my left back and down my left arm. I have been having difficulty to sleep on my left or even drive using my left hand.
Avatar m tn t support my head and very ache. I get migraines in the back of my neck and right shoulder and a sting also around my right shoulder blade at times. Depends on how I hold my arm the pain will travel down my shoulder and arm . It doesn't matter if brushing my teeth,rinsing dishes, folding towels,typing,writing,driving everything makes me have the nerve pain. I am taking 800 mg ibuprofen 2 times daily and sometimes a Valium at night to relax neck and help me sleep.
Avatar n tn The reason that I know that it is from this injury is because I get dull pain on my shoulder and that is what wakes me up. I think that the neck pain comes from me tossing and turning all night long in order for me to find a comfortable position to sleep. What medical experience do you have to say that it is a pinched nerve. I was hoping to get a medical student or doctor to help me find a solution to my problem so that I can sleep.
Avatar f tn besides that i did physical therapy for 8 weeks after surgery, i still do the exercises every day when i first get up, i use ice for 20 minutes and heat for 30 minutes on neck, back, and right shoulder. This pain when it comes on last all day, and usually i get 3 to 6 hours of sleep a night even with all the pills i take.

Avatar f tn on the right side of my scalp (down), right side of the face (there is pinched trigeminal nerve), right cheekbone, jaw bone (sinusitis maxillaries), right neck muscle (levator scapula) and goes over to the right shoulder muscle Supraspinatus and nerve there. I was told from one man (alternative medecine) that all comes from the nerve on the right shoulder. In my case is also my shoulder blade swollen. It is long way from the right shoulder until right eye.
Avatar f tn Im drowsy and still in pain, ibruprofen is a joke (upset stomach for nothing) Once i mopped the floor and the next day i could not move it felt like i had a stiff neck, pain from neck to elbow including the shoulder blade.
Avatar m tn I have pain in my neck, right shoulder blade area and my right arm. The pain is different depending on what I am doing. When lowering my head to get in my car or just moving up and down, the pain is in my neck. Sitting in bed it is in my shoulder and arm and sometimes my arm will have a slight numbing sensation. Coughing and sneezing, there is shooting pains through all three. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
Avatar f tn thanks for getting back to me I have seen all doctors above. the phlem comes and goes with the pain, I always know when my shoulder and ear pain is on it's way cause I start coughing up this stuff and then after the pain is gone it subsides and the phlem goes away and no more coughing, pain is almost gone and pretty normal then starts up aagin this goes on about every 15-30 days some days I can make it get better but not go away.
Avatar f tn I have been having some bad pain in the right side of my neck. I have always had some neck problems but it hasn't been this bad in awhile. On top of it all my right shoulder is hurting and so is my right arm. My arm muscle is so sore and feels so heavy and tight and I haven't done a whole lot. I have taken Tylenol and tried biofreeze but nothing is working. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm 9 weeks right now.
Avatar f tn i had an accident on the 5th of january this year i was stationary in a car where another car going low speed hit mine in the rear. i have pain in right shoulder and shoulder blades pain up the right side of my neck with headaches behind my eyes and aching to back of head also feels like headache.i have been getting pins and neddles in my left hand and right foot and finding sleep difficult and sometimes impossible. i feel like my head is not mine i'm forgetting where i'm putting items.
Avatar f tn sounds like same pains I get , I have a good chiropractor who has taken the pain away by taken pressure off nevre points in my neck and spine but it reoccurrs after poor sleep positions and too much heavy work
