Avatar m tn Have very severe neck pain. Have seen a neuroligist twice in the last two months. He did injections. Neither helped, especially last one. Neck hurts worse. Wake up with 2 out of ten pain. By days end pain is a ten out of ten. Been prescribed opiates, they do Nothing for the pain. What should I do? I am totally useless . Only extended bed rest helps.
Avatar n tn Thanks. I seen a Rheumatologist only because of other health issues. He has ordered bloodwork, and says he is going to try and help me figure this out. By the way what is a manual medecine doctor? Sorry, the term does not sound familar. Did anyone here have similar symptoms of neck pain. It helps to know what others experiences are like.
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 f tn Some of your symptoms are from your shoulder (pain) and some are from your neck (pins & needles). Swimming and water polo are really tough on good shoulders. After swimming most of your life, you could have developed some pretty bad motor patterns, ie using the wrong muscles to make movement occur.

Avatar f tn I have headaches everyday! For 7 yrs now. My pain start's in my neck and shoulder area, and moves quickly to my head, but the pain stay's in my neck also. Light hurt's, noise, lifting my head up - down- sideways hurt's and makes me very sick. I get hot all over. I cant work, I am scared. I have been to Mayo clinic- I have had everything done, I have a icecream pale full of medicine's that didnt help. I am 5'7 and 200 # I try to walk and bike but the pain is so bad.
Avatar f tn I know you are highly anxious about this but do be proactive about this. A referral to a rehab medicine specialist and a pain medicine specialist will be able to help.

Avatar n tn I have a horrible pain in neck and shoulder, I can barely lift or turn my head. I thought maybe it was just a kink in my neck but now I'm wondering if I need to go to the hospital. I've never had anything like this before but can't figure out what could have caused it.

Avatar n tn o The cervical rib syndrome may present with upper extremity pains worsened by head movement, spasms in neck, shoulder pain and others. The diagnosis is through imaging studies like X-ray spine. You should consult your doctor for a complete investigation and management. Do write in if you need any additional information.
Avatar m tn Periodically taking anti-inflammatory medicine to help with some of the pain. Why such soreness in my neck and shoulder area without any extraneous physical activity?

Avatar n tn I am 22 and from wednesday i was very tense and woke thursday with a very bad pain in my right shoulder which i still have. The pain is the same if not getting worse.

I have been taking ibuprofen and ibuprofen gel but the muscle at my neck is rock hard and very tense.
Avatar n tn I am having severe left shoulder pain. It is so bad that I cry daily and with 4 children which I had natural, I feel that I have a high tolerance to pain. My left arm and my neck up to the jawbone goes numb at times. The shoulder pain never goes away. I keep ice on it a lot plus take pain medicine and a muscle relaxer but nothing helps. I have tried patches, creams, massage, etc. A little History: I have not done anything to hurt it.
Avatar f tn I feel terrible. I feel achy all over with burning pain in my back and shoulder. I have problems sleeping because of the pain and recently began waking up with my heart racing.

Avatar f tn I am still having neck and shoulder tension and headaches still feel the tension in my shoulders all the time. Went to dentist to see if it was a bad tooth, been to the ear,nose, throat doctor, he said I need nose surgery, well I have known that for 20 years. But anyway this head stuff and tension is crippling. Anyone else had this problem? I am thinking maybe I need to have a brain scan next. Thanks for letting me whine. I am not usually such a baby. Oh!! I still cry daily.

Avatar f tn I had an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion of C4-C7 done on 2/17/09. Within two hours of the surgery, my neck, shoulder, arm pain and numbness was completely gone! I have some shoulder tenderness from being positioned on the O.R table in a hyperextension of my neck, but am taking a muscle relaxant with good relief. Amazingly, I did not experience any problems with hoarseness of my voice or difficulty swallowing.
Avatar f tn Finally in January of 2010, I was lifting something heavy again at work and I felt burning and straining bad in my neck, arm, and shoulder. I had to work the next day. I did it one armed. Thank Goodness I'm right handed. The pain just got worse by the days after that incident. I couldn't wash my hair and I was beginning to get numbness in my left leg. I was so freaked. I finally went to an Ortho Surgeon 3 days later.
