Common Questions and Answers about Neck and shoulder pain release

neck

Avatar n tn McB is right. Goodness knows, all kinds of problems can cause neck, shoulder and back pain and the number one reason, believe it or not; as I am told by my doctor, is poor posture. That is in the absence of any structual problems in those areas, like degenerative changes caused by arthritis, disks problems, overuse of those muscles or even muscle tension.
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 f tn I have been dealing with nerve pain as well as chronic pain for years now after bilat carpal tunnel release, right radial release, bone spur removal r elbow and right shoulder times two. The big question has always been whether I have neck problems. I have severe upper back pain that radiates into my arms mostly left. My question isvregarding a strange nerve/sensation which travels fown my spine from back of my skull to buttocks.
Avatar n tn I have a physically demanding job. I have neck, shoulder, arm, and upper back pain. I have been on pain meds for years. How bad do I have to get before I can get put on disablity. I've been told I have artritis and bone spurs.
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 I have persistent neck pain and headache. I am conscious of it when I get up in the morning and it worsens during the day but is never severe. If I concentrate on something or watch a movie etc the pain level goes down / almost goes away. I also feel I have a slight problem in tilting my head to the right - I feel a pain similar to a muscle pull on my shoulder. I get feelings of mild nausea occaisionally. If I put on my phone headset in the office pain becomes more.
Avatar n tn Im a 29 year old female and the last 2 months have been having neck pain and spasms and numbness and tingling down my right arm. During my last spasm, quite a severe one, I felt around my neck and noticed swelling on the right side (the side I always have the pain and spasms) I saw my doctor the following week and was told it is a muscle sprain due to working full time at a computer and also being a student and hunched over books. I was shown exercises and to take Nsaids twice daily for a week.
Avatar n tn yes i have severe pain in my neck and sholder on my right side .and its causeing sever headaches.
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome. Hm, this list of symptoms I'm sure concerns you and is causing you great discomfort. Do you feel there is any chance it is a urinary tract infection? At this point in life though, I'm sure you've had one and know what they feel like. When is the last time you had a pelvic exam and pap smear? It's time hon. I'd see your doctor.
Avatar f tn I am unable to wear a bra strap as this increases the shoulder/arm pain. The pain in constant and worse with activity such as brushing my hair, cooking/stirring, lifting, writing, swimming, carrying anything. The right hand/arm is always freezing cold and my hand/fingers are swollen 24/7.I cannot sleep on my right side. I want to get rid of pain and figure out what is the cause. I do not believe it is the arm anymore.
1960024 tn?1355014582 I have had pretty severe Pain in the back of my neck that radiates into the back of my head for about 5 months now. I've seen my Dr. and at first he said a pulled muscle then when it did not go away he tried PT, still no relief so he tried these shots that numbed the area for a couple hours, but that was it. There's also lumps now, at my hairline and in the mid neck close to the spine, I decided to see another Dr.
592323 tn?1220549358 I have been having severe neck pain, numbness and tingling in hands, arms and legs, IBS, bowel discomfort, loss of vision in right eye, black spots in my left eye, sudden sharp pains to my head, trouble concentrating, irritability, and numbness in the right side of my face. My arm went extremely numb one night in bed and I thought I was having a heart attack. Most of my symptoms are only on one side of the body. This has been going on for years and worsened.
Avatar m tn Sounds like you got some knots in your upper back and theyre putting pressure on a nerve which is creating pain and headaches. Go to a chiropractor who practices muscle release techniques. Also the fact that you have anxiety also could mean that You carry a lot of tension in your shoulder which can cause your muscles to stiffen up ang get all knotted.
Avatar f tn My neck hurt off and on since day one of injury 4/2013 and I just had another MRI of neck that shows a bulging disc. I assumed pain/headache from shoulder and swelling. I know about the way the nerves run from neck to shoulder although the pain, numbing, tingling, discoloration and front of shoulder has increased with pain as well as my shoulder blade. Any Ideas? My Dr refuses to do another MRI of shoulder or check my shoulder blade (last MRI was 5/2013..
1001981 tn?1293978481 Has anyone ever had a trap trigger point and shoulder pain, and burning down the arm with a twitching like electrical pulse down the elbow? I mean this is very painful and my neck tightened up and I had to get 2 trigger point injections and now they are going to MRI my C spine of the neck. All these wierd symptons started after my FT3 levels got low. Apparently I was born with extra cervical ribs which the neuro thinks maybe be the problem.
Avatar m tn When I came off pain meds after the knee surgery, my shoulder and neck began to hurt. Did lots of PT and massage and chiropractic care and finally had shoulder surgery for a SLAP lesion and floating bone fragments. Because my neck hurt so much also, had an MRI on that with the shoulder surgeon. He said I had thyroid nodules, one particularly large. They biopsied the small one that seemed hard and it came back benign.

Avatar m tn I have been suffering from nerve pain that ran down my left arm and shoulder and fingers from a bulging disc in the C-5- C-6 so i had been taking oxycodone 10-325 but when we decided to do surgery we cut that down to oxycodone 5/325 since that is what the surgeon would be giving me after surgery so i said okay no problem.

519035 tn?1348275773 After years of specialists (real joke), this young hand therapist out of school showed me how to control it. Muscle knots in my neck, shoulder and forearms squeezed on nerves and tendon shieths mimicking carpel tunnel. Find someone to teach you Nerve Glides, and Trigger Point Therapy (myfacial release, this really works) for your neck, arms, wrists. After she did this from my neck to forearm, the numbness is gone, but still clumsy.
Avatar f tn I have problems with my bra straps on that side as they apply pressure to the area and produce mild pain. Once my physician related the pain and protrusion to the injury, he seems to have lost interest in pursuing this as a displacement. I am seeing him this week to further investigate this....My question is....is it feasible that all this IS related to the strain I experienced and does it usually take this long to produce symptoms?
Avatar n tn In 2005 I had arthoscopy surgery on my left shoulder due to spurs and my right shoulder in 2006. My reg Dr. sent me for a nerve test forget the name EMT?? not sure. Was diagnoised with the carpal tunnel and ulna nerve thing. Have insisions in hand and elbow( haven't seen yet) More annoying than painful but can lead to more serious problems. My pain is mainly in my shoulders, especially my right one and my right shoulder blade.
Avatar m tn For the past four years, I have these pains (on and off) that seem to generate in my left shoulder/neck area, and then the pain continues down my left arm into my left hand and small finger goes numb. Its impossible to sleep on my left hand-side. Most painful and uncomfortable. I have tried physio treatment, acupuncture, massages, loads of medication, deep heat treatment and even electro needle treatment. Nothing seem to cure it long term.

1471682 tn?1286812510 I have constant pain on the left side of my neck, shoulder and arm. Also on both sides of my neck and base of skull from some herniated discs and DDD. It's possible the under-the-shoulder blade pain is also caused by a disc herniating and irritating a nerve but it feels different to me.
