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 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.
Avatar n tn In addition, if u have EDS in addition that is hypermobile joints...and ur joint may pop in and out and that may cause the pain and inflamation in that area also....do u notice shoulder pain when lying on ur side to sleep? Most of us tend to have issues with bulging disks and DDD so I guess it is possible that some of it could also be a form of arthritis. May I ask is ur dr a chiari specialist?? Maybe u would want a second opinion if ur dr is not hearing ur concerns.
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.
365545 tn?1268512537 He is going through therapy which is making it worse.he is in constant pain and gets little sleep because of it.He works in a factory with press machines and he said he thinks its from tightening bolts.Does anyone now what this is and what kind of doctor he should be going to?
Avatar m tn I have pain in my neck, right shoulder blade area and my right arm. The pain is different depending on what I am doing. When lowering my head to get in my car or just moving up and down, the pain is in my neck. Sitting in bed it is in my shoulder and arm and sometimes my arm will have a slight numbing sensation. Coughing and sneezing, there is shooting pains through all three. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
Avatar f tn Almost 9 months after beginning treatments, my neck is now much more relaxed, and the shoulder pain is completely gone and I sleep with a brace on my right arm when needed at night. It is a bit of a pain, but my tingling can get so bad that it down right hurts and wakes me up multiple times. Once I put it on, it completely eases off almost immediately. Your energy level is probably decreasing, because you are being robbed of your sleep.
Avatar f tn Hi matd, I broke my neck playing softball some years ago and have had issues with neck pain and shoulder pain as well as headaches periodically. I have purchased several expensive pillows that promised to relieve the headaches and pain but none of them worked. I found that if my pillow is flat and my neck well supported I sleep more comfortably and wake with less pain and headaches. There are a multitude of opinions on facet joint and cervical injections.
Avatar f tn These help with pain, but I have developed an itchy, unremitting rash on my right shoulder and should probably stop taking meds to see if any of them are causing it? I tried glucosamine but the pain and cracking remained and sometimes my head hurts on the right side too. I also have Hashimoto’s (TPO antibodies over 1,000) take 75mcg Levoxyl per day. There is a 1.2cm nodule on the right side of thyroid- it was ruled benign after biopsy.
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 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).
Avatar f tn Im drowsy and still in pain, ibruprofen is a joke (upset stomach for nothing) Once i mopped the floor and the next day i could not move it felt like i had a stiff neck, pain from neck to elbow including the shoulder blade.
Avatar f tn I'm 22 and I have back and neck pain. My left shoulder makes a popping sound when i rotate them. My neck makes a fizzing (sand like, finer) and cracking sound (coarser) when I fully extend it but more prominent during lateral flexion. My left disclocated shoulder causes me so much discomfort and it seems like the pain reaches to my neck up to my head. I have headaches like everyday. And also I have tmj but only at the left side. So I'm not sure what's wrong with me.
1710955 tn?1309446473 I had an MRI done and it showed two bulging discs on my C5/ C6 area, a tear in my tendon, along with impingement on the nerve. The pain radiated down my left side of my neck, into the shoulder and down the left arm to my fingers. It was the most excruciating pain ever! I thought I was having a heart attack because it was all on my left side and the pain was absolutely unbearable. During the day, it was so bad, except for lifting my arm. i couldn't... Too much pain.
Avatar n tn I have had social/ general anxiety my whole life but for the last 6 months or so I have had headaches and severe migraines along with extreme neck and shoulder pain. My neck is so stiff and my shoulders ache almost constantly. A lot of days I lay on the couch and watch TV all day because I can't function. The pain makes me not want to do anything. I was wondering if these symptoms are being caused by my anxiety?
Avatar f tn I fell down about 14 steel stairs coming off of guard duty in Afghanistan in full kit. I was knocked out for a min or so and figured I just had whiplash and a concussion but after 3 days of basically no sleep and a baseball size welt on my neck I was medivaced to a hospital where I had an MRI and the neurosurgeon said I had some torn ligaments in between my C3-C4-C5. I was in a neckbrace for 7 weeks and was having bad muscle spasms so I had botox injections in my neck and shoulder.
Avatar m tn I have pain in between the shoulder blade of my left shoulder when i put my arm up and stretch to the right i can feel the pain between increasing,also i have problems in sitting without support to my neck ,i get neck pain neat to the top part of the shoulder and the point where neck joins the spine.Also i feel that my lower left shoulder is unrelaxed when sitting,always causes kind of tied up feeling. I had gone to a doctor x rays of the neck and shoulder were fine.
Avatar m tn t support my head and very ache. I get migraines in the back of my neck and right shoulder and a sting also around my right shoulder blade at times. Depends on how I hold my arm the pain will travel down my shoulder and arm . It doesn't matter if brushing my teeth,rinsing dishes, folding towels,typing,writing,driving everything makes me have the nerve pain. I am taking 800 mg ibuprofen 2 times daily and sometimes a Valium at night to relax neck and help me sleep.
5154898 tn?1374773319 Use a hard bed to sleep. Avoid a pillow. Roll a towel and place it under your neck while sleeping on the back and between head and shoulder when lying on the side. Initially this will be uncomfortable but with time the acupressure will work. Use an analgesic cream or spray. Anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants also help. Also, you must improve your posture while sitting and working. Manual therapy, neck exercises etc should all be tried as all these can help relieve pain.
Avatar f tn On my right side next to my neck above my shoulder, I have constant dull pain at time during the day it swells up and becomes very painful. The pain awakens me from my sleep, I've taken aspirin and ibuprofen it doesn't always help the pain is constant. I haven't been in an accident nor I've a muscle it's been going on for a few months now. Anyone experience this same problem? Help?
Avatar f tn on the right side of my scalp (down), right side of the face (there is pinched trigeminal nerve), right cheekbone, jaw bone (sinusitis maxillaries), right neck muscle (levator scapula) and goes over to the right shoulder muscle Supraspinatus and nerve there. I was told from one man (alternative medecine) that all comes from the nerve on the right shoulder. In my case is also my shoulder blade swollen. It is long way from the right shoulder until right eye.
Avatar f tn Definetly have it checked out. I have similar pain too but no bumps or nots. For me I can't sleep unless I sleep in a position that doesn't aggrevate my pain. And it's not the same position either. I keep having to roll around in bed until I can find a reasonable position. It could be nerve related or something to do with your bumps.
Avatar m tn The pains are constantly present and are located between my spine and left shoulder blade, my left trapezoid, and my left chest between the breast bone and nipple. The pain increases when breathing deeply and also while lying down on my back. But the weirdest part of all of this is while lying on my back or on my left side, if I breathe in deeply I can hear & feel clicking or popping deep within the chest. This also occurs on the deep exhale.
