Avatar f tn Well I'm 37 weeks, and my neck and my back(up top) are really messed up.. like it hurts to turn my neck or move my right shoulder. Is there anything they can do while I'm pregnant or do I just need to wait to go after the baby's born? Since this pain came I have a knot on the back of my head now too..
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 f tn my pain level stays between 3 and 5 i have had steroid shots in my neck and shoulder which did not work at all, i have been out of work since june 2008 and there is no way i can do my job with the amount of pain i have in my neck. i am at a total loss right now i cant take the pain any longer. Is this type of thing normal. I need some advice on what to do next.
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 It starts and goes through my collar bone area and up the side of my neck. It happens 50+ times a day, and is really interfering with my life. I can find no trigger for it, or anyway to get it to stop. Although each instance only last maybe a few seconds, it feels like forever, and happens often. 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 m tn about 10 years ago i was lifting a heavy item when i felt a pop in my neck just behind my right ear then i felt a throbing banging sensation in the same position i sat down and after a while it calmed down after that i felt very dizzy for a few weeks but every time a strained i got dizzy and if i stained really hard i would get the same banging feeling in my neck i also get a grinding in neck around the same pos as initial injury since then it has just been a down hill slope ive had constant s
Avatar m tn ve since recovered, sometimes when I do exercises that involve shoulder and neck movement, the injury comes back. There's pain in the exact same spot and my shoulder starts to sag. Other times, the injury doesn't come back, but I feel like there may be a nerve snapping about around my shoulder blade. Can any give me insights on how I can go about fixing it?
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.
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.
Avatar f tn Woke up this morning with my right should in a little by of pain. Its not my shoulder blade it's in between my neck and top of my shoulder. 18 +2 weeks pregnant. Maybe I slept on it wrong? Help!!
192055 tn?1263555537 When I was 19, after basic training and AIT, I started having a lot of neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. I went to the doctor again... turns out the pain was coming from my collarbone- everytime it dislocated, it was irritating my muscles and nerves. I found an amazing heart surgeon that was willing to do my surgery- no if's and's or but's about it! When he first cut me open, the doc found the muscle just floating around (The muscle that held my joint together.
Avatar f tn I was in a car wreck it caused whiplash and a head contusion in 2008 and I just had surgery for Herniated Disc I had pain and numbness in my right hand and fingers, in my arm numbness in my elbow pain in between my shoulder blades and across my shoulder, neck stiffness pain in my neck loss of motion in neck and major and many headaches I also had dizzy spells and major sinus problems form it. I tried PT and chiropractors they were a temporary fix and that was it.
Avatar m tn Have you been on the computer for a while. Your neck could be very tense leading to neck pains. Just try to exercise your neck muscles lightly.
Avatar n tn The thing I can not understand is I have little to no pain in my neck. I do however have tremendous pain in my right shoulder blade and down my right arm into my hand. This has been going on for about 3 months and when I cough I have sharp pain in my shouder blade. Is this a normal sensation for a compressed nerve?
Avatar m tn It only hurts when I breathe in, sneeze, cough, and even burp. As soon as I do one of those things, it sends shooting pain down my neck,and through my right shoulder. Nothing else hurts. I don't know what this could be!
Avatar f tn I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant for weeks now ive been having neck, back and arm pain and sometimes headache which can last 2 or 3 days. Ive been to 4 physio sessions this far with minimal relief. I get spasms in between my shoulder blades and ive had one big spasm in my neck. Each morning the pain is quite bad between my shoulder blades. The pain is worse on the right hand side. The pain in my arms are 2 places and once again much worse on the right hand side. Upper arm and lower arm.
1501419 tn?1289308044 also I have two minor budlging discs in neck. the pain in my neck never goes away! Also the pain in my mid back and under my shoulder blades is horrible. i had steroid and botox injections done about two weeks ago with no help to me. also i get a prickly sensaition in my mid back? i am going back to my doctor next week, but thought maybe I gcould get some adice and help. the muscle spasms are very bad and sometimes i cant get of the couch or move.
1530144 tn?1291940314 The most likely explanation is that you have injured your shoulder and later your neck at some point. With MS, pain is either a result of spasticity/spasms or paresthesia (phantom pain.) I remember that I had the worst neck pain about two weeks after I had a car wreck. I woke up one day and could not move my head because it hurt so badly. I think injuries like that take a while to show up, because the body hasn't quite caught up to it yet.
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 m tn it runs along the thoracic spine but controls the right arm and shoulder and chest. I had neck surgery and damaged this nerve by getting into a car accident while wearing my neck brace. It hurts like the dickens and takes a long time to heal but if the therapy you are receiving is not targeting this and you do have this problem it will never get better. It is a particular little bugger.
Avatar n tn hi i had been suffering with constant pain like yours for over a year i googled in stretches for neck and shoulder pain and by god they really helped it all tension and doing the stretches for a few days days really worked also i used hot and cold packs hope you try this
Avatar n tn The tingling is now gone, but I still have upper back/shoulder blade pain and arm pain. The pain ususally starts in my upper back, then under my armpit, then my upper arm feels tight and starts to hurt and the pain then radiates down the front of my arm, under my wrist and sometimes into my hand. And I still feel as if my arm is weaker. Last night I had some muscle twitches in my shoulder and when I lean back to stretch my upper back my shoulder does hurt some.
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.
