Common Questions and Answers about Neck and shoulder pain on the left

neck

Avatar f tn Now having headaches, sometimes-extreme pain and pressure radiating from my jaw and brain stem region, down the left side of my neck into my shoulder. Sometimes difficult to swallow. Have a hard "lump" that forms on the left side of my neck in back of my lower ear--gets smaller if I massage it, but does not go away. The muscles on the left side of my neck are tense and hard, almost like they are atrophying.
Avatar f tn You don't say where in the arm it hurts. Is it the shoulder? The elbow? The wrist? The biceps? Where it hurts would help in telling what's going on. I have a similar problem, but I have a lot going on so nobody's ever really been able to pin things down for me. I've been told my arm pain, which comes every time I go back to lifting weights, is from disc problems in my neck, from my shoulders, and uh, I dunno. That's where the docs always come out, I dunno.
Avatar f tn What could be the cause of pain on the left side of neck going down my left shoulder into my inner arm and sometimes in my left hip? The pain can be felt the most when I move a certain way or reach to get something. At night time it is most bothersome, as it seems to be more painful. This pain started about three weeks ago and at the same time I started jogging, I am wondering if it has anything to do with it. But when I am jogging, I don't feel any symptoms at all.
Avatar f tn the pain has gotten to the point it is affecting my balance and causing a burning sensation in my left shoulder
1607896 tn?1297993508 ve ever had, throbbing and pounding through out my shoulder,collarbone, neck and head all on the left side. It hurts to lift my left arm. Along with sharp lightning pain. I can not recall hurting myself at all and there are no signs of injury nor bruising. At best my pain stays at a 3 and travels up to a 10 without warning when the pounding pain begins. It doesn't matter if I'm lying down, sitting, stretching, etc. Nothing is stopping this pain and I have no idea what is wrong.

1690048 tn?1307555227 This was supposed to get rid of my left shoulder and arm pain. So far no such luck. My shoulder muscles are going into spasm frequently and it is quite painful. My neck also very painful also but I expected that since I was not having a fusion. Please someone let me know if this sounds like nerve damage. I am thinking maybe I waited too long to have this done and there is some perminent damage. I had stenosis and the left side is supposed to be feeling better.
Avatar m tn But now when I sleep on my side, the opposite arm goes to sleep and then it feels like someone is stepping on my hand.
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).

1534233 tn?1523388856 The top of my left shoulder is quite painful to the touch. I've tried ibuprofen tablets and gel, also paracetamol and codeine tablets. I've previously had some worries about chest pain being angina although all tests for this are negative. The pain goes into my neck a bit when I press my shoulder, I'm fairly happy this pain is not heart related. But wonder what I can do to treat it.
Avatar f tn White the pain injections, chiropractor and acupuncture helps and all only helps temporary. I am wondering if bearing the pain and doing exercises to strengthen my neck and shoulders would be a better solutions on helping my pain long term.
Avatar m tn There is something called referred pain. In other words, the pain may originate in one area of your back and the pain radiates to another part of your back,. Both of us, my husband and I, go for regular adjustments with our chiropractor. Were you involved in a car accident of some kind? I ask this because you mention going to a physiotherapist. Are you aware that celebrex has been removed by some drug stores in Canada. Personally, I wouldn't take this drug.
Avatar n tn I have pain in the left arm and hand and the right arm to the elbow , left side of the neck. Also pain on the middle of my back between the shoulder blades. I do have " sever" nerve compression in the lower back, "some scoliosis". What to do? Sounds like the Cervical spine is a minor deal...the lower spine does seem to need attention. I'm just trying to find out what needs to be done.
Avatar f tn I have been hurting for about nine months now in both shoulders, the right side is worse, it's not a full pain it's sharp pain and it radiates down to my elbow on the right side but in the left side it's just my shoulder , that's how it started on the right side, could this possibly be fibro????

Avatar n tn I dont know if the back and shoulder pain are related, but because both are on my left side, I thought they might be. Has anyone experienced these symptoms, or know of anything they might be?
Avatar f tn When I look all the way up, if I support the back of my head there is no pain. The pain also go to my left shoulder now too but still mostly on my left neck. Please help and let me know what I can do to get rid of this pain. I can’t really go out for treatment now since the covid 19 thing. Ps. There is no pain if i keep my head straight. Thank you in advance for all your help, I am greatly appreciated.

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.
535758 tn?1213715961 I find it all very weird to know I went onto the table for neck surgery and woke up with worse pain from an all the sudden torn shoulder and now the right is doing the same???? It has to be coming from the neck!
Avatar m tn Hi, I am experiencing severe pain on back of my left shoulder and inside of my left arm, it all started from my neck and the pain gets worse when I am driving. Now it has been over a month and it's never going. Please advise me what I should do?
Avatar f tn m getting the run around. The neck pain I have lived with for years but the shoulder and gripping pain in my upper arm is really ugly. My shoulder hurts when I move it but the gripping pain around my upper arm (about half way between shoulder and elbow) feels live a red hot band squeezing my arm. It causes me to double over in pain and I have very little use of my left arm on most days. The hydrocodone does little to ease the pain.
