584818 tn?1218287801 Hi, this could be due to thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome etc. Symptoms due to thoracic outlet syndrome include neck, shoulder, and arm pain, numbness, or impaired circulation to the extremities (causing discoloration). Often symptoms are reproduced when the arm is positioned above the shoulder or extended. Patients can have a wide spectrum of symptoms from mild and intermittent, to severe and constant.
Avatar f tn With the numbness in your hand and fingers, this may be due to pressure on an nerve in your neck/shoulder area or from a condition called carpal tunnel. You may find gentle massage may help. Make an appointment with your doctor so that he can refer you to physiotherapy and the appropriate medical professional.
Avatar f tn Since being assaulted by a resident in a care home that I work at I have experienced onging and increasing pain in my shoulder, stiffness in my neck, pain in my arm and numbness with occasional shooting pain into my hand. I often have problems holding onto things with this hand, or I lose strength in it very suddenly. It is my left and dominant side.

Avatar m tn You may certainly have wrist tendonitis, but why the neck and shoulder pain. The pain and numbness you are having could be from your neck and an EMG would assist with that answer. It is a nerve conduction study. You also need an xray and MRI of your neck to rule out that as a cause for your numbness. I would see a neurologist.
Avatar f tn I as well have major pain in my left shoulder and tingling in the left hand. I have Snapping Scapula Syndrome, which is very rare, but it may be something worth looking into. I have pain all around the shoulder blade and it actually snaps and rubs against my rib cage and is extremely painful. I have been told for 7 years now that no one would be able to help me and to just deal with the pain.
Avatar f tn s been about 10 hours, and I still have some numbness in the back of my shoulder (below the shoulder blade) and wrist. There's some tenderness in the back of my shoulder as well but no soreness in the front. It's uncomfortable to move my shoulder, but mostly doable. I get a little pain once I lift it over my head, but it's doable.

Avatar f tn The main symptoms are pain radiating in the arm, neck, chest and shoulders. Others are numbness, tingling in fingers and hands with muscle weakness. Did you get an MRI spine or brain? you would need an MRI spine and treatment would require appropriate treatment including NSIADS, physical therapy including cervical traction and mobilization, exercises etc. you would require surgical decompression if symptoms are distressing and motor weakness is present. Wishing you all the best.
Avatar n tn m 15 weeks pregnant and am limited on what I can take when it comes to pain in my right elbow area. The pain is excruciating in the elbow, shoulder and neck area and there is numbness in my right hand and some soreness in my right forearm. I just saw my OBGYN on Monday, but I didnt have this much pain until tuesday afternoon. I FEEL LIKE CUTTING OFF MY ARM TO MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY! I have used an ice pack and that only made me vomit when the blood rushed back into my elbow.
Avatar n tn Hello, I'm a 38 year-old male with moderate to severe pain in my shoulder/upper back/chest area (most sharp in back under shoulder blade)as well as numbness in my hand and fingers. I've always felt like my shoulders are in the way when I sleep and nothing I do seems to help; extra pillows, memory foam, waterbed, etc. The pain just keeps getter worse. I am a Sign Language Interpreter and use of my hands and arms are crucial for my job, but it's becoming more difficult every day.
Avatar m tn I also had a right shoulder bursectomy that did not resolve the shoulder pain. The pain has spread across my head and become much worse in my neck and down the right side of my body the last three months. Every doctor I see has a different opinion and recommendation. I am searching for any insight into what may be causing this.
Avatar m tn 2015 - numbness and loss of feeling in hand, getting worse each day. pain in lower back and left lag (perhaps unrelated). I have tried several physical therapies, went to see several doctors, they suspect that I have disc problems in the neck and also carpel tunnel syndrome. they suggested another surgery. Tried acupuncture, it didn't help. maybe the therapist was not specialized to treat these kind of problems?
Avatar f tn They will be able to do nerve conduction tests to find any nerve that might be under pressure from something that cant be seen on an x-ray.The extreme cold makes the nerve pain worse in my neck,head and shoulder all the way down to my fingers.The feeling is like being pricked by a thousand needles and feels like I am standing by a bon fire,with cramping and muscle spasms,numbness.If this sounds like anything that you might be going through,you ought to go see your family doctor like I said.
Avatar n tn Hi, Thank you for your question. Generally, shoulder and arm numbness originates from the neck problems due to irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because the nerves that supply the back of the head start in the upper cervical spine. Mostly, these symptoms aggravate after turning head and typically occur in patients with previous neck injuries and in patients with marked arthritis of the upper cervical spine.
Avatar f tn You should look for any issues of your cervical spine which is giving the referred pain along the supply of its major nerves in your shoulder and hand viz. the median nerve, radial nerve and the ulnar nerve. You should rule out degenerative disc diseases and also cervical spondylosis. You can try wearing neck support, following proper ergonomics and a follow up with an orthopedician or a neurosurgeon to explore all options. Take care!
Avatar f tn These accumulated changes caused by degeneration can gradually compress one or more of the nerve roots. This can lead to increasing pain in the neck and arm, weakness, and changes in sensation. In advanced cases, the spinal cord becomes involved. This can affect not just the arms, but the legs as well”. Taken from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000436.htm Investigations like MRI spine are done to rule out.
Avatar n tn I have been experiencing pain on the left side of my neck radiation to the left shoulder both laterally and posteriorly. I have also been experiencing tingling in the left forarm expanding down my arm into the palm of my hand with numbness in my finger tips. i have also experienced numbness in my left leg which i didnt relate to my injury until after i recieved a fluoroscopically guided cervical epidural steroid injection. the pain in my arm and shoulder is sharp at times,hot and aching.

Avatar f tn I've had just started to have weakness and some pain in my hand and little and fingers that I'm fairly certain must be ulnar nerve related (I sleep with my hands and elbows tucked under me and wake up hurting). My question is: For about six months I've had sensitivity, tingling and soreness of my shoulder and neck that I thought was computer-related.
