Avatar f tn i have had shoulder and neck pain for the past 3 years. initially it was less but became very serious that things on my right hand dropped just like that and had the neck region swollen. i was given pain killers by the doctors. i had gone for physiotherapy sessions which were very painful. they suggested accupressure and i attended the allotted sessions and had a lot of relief but the pain has returned very severely. kindly suggest me the needful steps to be taken.
Avatar m tn I wonder if it was a mis-diagnosis or half-diagnosis, and it makes me question whether the nerve pinching issues is actually at the shoulder RATHER than the neck. Regardless, the issue is no longer in my neck and shoulder, but in my neck, shoulder, and back. It's difficult to even pinpoint the pain. It's like one big, sore clump spawning from mid-back to shoulder to neck. DIFFICULTY SPEAKING: One of the red flags I'm experiencing is difficulty speaking.

Avatar n tn This could be either bony or muscular pain. Cases of cervical spondylosis do present with pain in arms and shoulder. Neuropathy due to disc protrusion is other possibilty. Investigations like X ray shoulder joint or MRI cervical spine are best for diagnosis. Try pain killers like ibuprofen, diclofenac etc for 4-5 days along with hot compression. If no relief is seen, do consult doctor.
Avatar f tn Went to emergency with severe pain in right shoulder, up into the neck and down the right arm (woke up with it). Have been on 500 mg. Naproxen , twice daily, for 3 weeks, and 10 mg. Pms-cyclobenzaprine every 8 hours. I'm still experiencing pain plus some new tingling down the arm. Should I be going back to my doctor? It seems this is taking an unusually long time to get better.
1735730 tn?1348952972 re a candidate for it, it could give you some pain relief and ability to use that arm. I had my surgery almost three years ago and while my shoulder definitely is not perfect and I don't have the strength in that arm that I did years and years ago, I still consider the surgery a success because it has given me back some use of that arm and reduced my shoulder pain. Prior to the surgery, I literally could not brush my teeth without being in agony and tears. Best of luck and keep me posted!
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been having major problems with constant dull headaches (only really hehind the eyes and temple) that seem to radiate from my right shoulder, and rhomboid/scapula pain for about 1.5 years now and have pretty much given up. I have done Right AC Joint, Right Scapula, Cervical, and Thoracic MRI's along with X-Rays of everything with no major findings. Had facet joint injections in C5 and C6 and epidural cervical injection without relief.
Avatar m tn In the last year or so, I have developed pain wiht typing. The pain occurs in the my shoulder, my neck and my upper back, especially in my shoulder blades and under my arms in the rib area. Also the pain seems to be worse on my right side from the side of my neck down to my right shoudler and shoulder blade. I also get a knot in the middle of my back. I have tried PT to strengthen my back, but with no help. The pain kept returning. I have tried antiinflammatories and muscle relaxers.
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 am 31 yrs old and have had back/neck issues since about 18 yrs old. Over the last 6-7 years the pain has centered in on my neck. About every 10 days, one side or the other of my neck becomes very stiff and painful causing a severe headache on the forehead of the same side of the head. This neck and head pain lasts for 3 days each time. MRI has come back clear. Was given some "anti-depressants" to see if that would help with the tension/pain - it didn't.
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 n tn Hi, I think your symptoms may be due to nerve irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because of cervical disc bulge. This pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head & shoulders (as it blades)- LHERMITTES SIGN, arms or chest, rather than just the neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) and stiffness. It will be best that you consult a neurologist who would like to prescribe Pain killers, steroid and muscle relaxants.
Avatar m tn Hi guys, 3 weeks ago I work up with left shoulder pain esp. on the side and upper shoulder. The symptoms got worse and I had an X ray and MRI done of my shoulder. Everything checked out ok. a week later pain got worse and has radiated to my upper back and lower neck. Now I am having trouble lifting my left arm!! I can lift it if I use my right arm to assist but I cannot lift it on my own.Like I have no strength or something is wrong with my nerves???
Avatar m tn I have had an MRI of my shoulder and x-ray of my wrist, and neck. (4 years ago) NO MRI OF SPINE, HEAD, NECK although the Dr has ordered an MRI of my neck this month. The bones and joints appear healthy,. nerve testing indicated my nerves were working ok (3 years ago) No tests have been done on my arteries and no bone scans. Physiotherapy and chiropractor..not intensive enough to make a difference. Deep tissue massage helps ease muscle pain and stretches also help to ease the pain.
Avatar n tn my doctor gave two injections, one in back of neck and one on top of shoulder. my shoulder joint is swollen and the tingling is so intense it is also painful. i am diabetic and have high bp. the prednisone rose my sugar to a dangerous level and had to be discontinued. i can't take this pain no longer. i ready to go to hospital and asked to be admiited for some relief from this pain.
Avatar f tn t get a rebound headache and it helps with the shoulder and neck spasms as well. Hope that you find some relief and answers!
Avatar n tn My specialist advised that my neck pain is caused by arthritis (i am 28) brought on by years of sitting at a computer and the shoulder blade pain from a damaged ligament and has recommended exercise for my neck and a cortisone injection for my shoulder blade. Is there anyone that can offer an opinion about what it wrong, if the two problems are connected to one another and how to go about easing the pain? I have has Chiro, PT treatment and acupuncture in the past which has not really helped.
Avatar f tn Did they do endoscopy at same time if so this would cause throat irritated. If having pain from neck down shoulder and arm ask if its a nerve compression. I have major neck pain issues shoulder arm back etc.... anyway the way explained to me nerve compression in my neck is causing the shoulder arm pain and oh yes the migraine type headaches. Good luck and prayers for you with pain.
Avatar f tn And once again, the doctor told me that I pulled muscles in my chest, and that I had a strained neck muscle and a mild case of a left frozen shoulder. She also said that I probably have a pinched nerve on my left side of my neck causing most of the discomfort. She gave me a muscle relaxer and some pain medication. Both doctors told me my pulse was completely normal and that my blood pressure was perfect.
Avatar m tn Hey community, This is the first time I've ever joined an online community for help. I'll tell you my story, hopefully with as much clarity as possible, in hopes that I can receive some wise words or help from somebody out there. STARTED WITH SHOULDER: Three years ago, at the age of 24, I woke up feeling fine and healthy. Some three hours later, a burning pain from my right shoulder sent me to the ER in the most pain I've ever experienced in my life.
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 f tn Well, want to share my stories... when I was doing physio stretching in last 9 months, sometimes I had to go for message as well to relax muscle as suggested by Physio; recently I was going to new massage therapist close to my house, I only had 2 treatments, on last wednesday she treated me but she did put hard pressure on my back on hip/sciatic nerve and after that I am having shooting pain all the way to my leg, sitting, walking, sleeping on that side hurt me......
Avatar m tn I have been posting in the addiction forum because I was taking pain med for knees and began taking too much, then decided to quit. It's been a few months since I stopped the meds and I've experienced a lot of neck and shoulder pain. I've been seeking treatment with massage and chiropractic care. The pain is not subsiding at all. The chiropractor said that I don't have an injury, but fascia...itis in neck and shoulder.
