osteoarthritis neck arm

You do not say exactly where in the arm the pain is and if you had a fall or any type of knock. Pain in the arm can sometimes radiate from the shoulder and neck area of the spine and can also be caused by swollen or torn tendons, bone problems like osteoarthritis, muscle problems and overuse of the arm if you do any type of repetitive work. You should make an urgent appointment to see your doctor to examine you and determine the underlying cause.

I am not in pain, I am uncomfortable because I feel the constant need to move, stretch, and crack my neck and back. I also feel it in my arm and hand when my back is acting up. I think it has something to do with my nerves, I just don't know what...

im having neck pain...my arm hurts. and my hand is tingling. my neck hurts when i move it.... and it makes a cracking sound when try to move it. What is going on?

I have extensive Osteoarthritis in my upper back and neck from an accident I was in over 20yrs ago. I had an accident and I broke my right leg and my left arm. As a result my right leg is slightly bowed and therefore around a half inch shorter than my left leg. As a result it has affected my back and neck. Lately my legs have been swelling and itching, mostly the left. I certainly feel it's all related to my right leg injury.

position, whereby the pillow is actually stretching my neck so that I could breathe normally. Since then my arm does not have the problem again. If your problem still precedes, you can try my experience.

i fell and landed on my neck and nearly knocked myself out. i landed on the right side of my neck. six months to a year later. i started having problems with the right side of my back. basically my right shoulder blade. and i had landed on the right side of my neck so i was thinking that my injury was the cause. but what im experience is not really pain. its more so just very uncomfortable. the left side of my back feels completley normal.

I have osteoarthritis in my neck moderate and mild in lower back. Can and adjusment help? will they even do an adjustment me? i seem to be losing sensativity in my legs but dont know if iy du to oa in back nad neck.any help would be great. thank you.

The various causes are carpel tunnel syndrome, inflammation of the tendons of the arm due to repetitive work, lymphangitis, deep vein thrombosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. You need to consult a doctor and rule these out by blood tests, X-rays, nerve conduction studies, rheumatoid factor, ESR, etc. Muscle injury causing the muscles to swell up can be diagnosed by enzymes transaminase (AST) and creatinine phosphokinase. Hope this helps.

Rotator cuff signs and symptoms would consist of shoulder pain and also deltoid muscle pain in your upper arm, weakness during shoulder functions and also clicking in the shoulder with popping a prominent feature in some people. It occurs in a dominant arm and the pain may interfere with sleep and worse at night. There is problem with lifting of weights with the effected shoulder and decrease in ability to move the arm, especially out to the side.

I have had multiple tests due to many symptoms from CT of brain to MRI of neck. Doctor has explained to me results of all these they were all normal, except the MRI which she ordered and instead of explaining things to me she had her nurse explain things. And I will have to see a neurosurgeon soon. She didn't explain she just read the results and said osteoarthritis. I went to hospital to get a copy of results. This is what I received if you can help me awesome.

if i sit with my legs up or sit oor lay for too long my left leg has gone numb and tingly or my right arm the full arm shoulder to fingertips will begin to go numb and ache with fair notice considering my threshold of pain. my body constantly aches from my ankles knees my whole back wrists knuckels shoulders neck especially and there is a specific point on my forhead that if any pressure is on it it produces a sharp pain like a migraine.

very interesting reply, i had fusion C4-5 18 months ago, relief with neck/shoulder arm pain- still have alittle. but now have bad headaches and neck to mid back stabbing pain that is relentless, never had that before surgery. would you say that relaxation works for low levels of pain? i had tried every procedure that i'm aware of.....

I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?

HI LADIES, What can be wrong with me??? Breast,Neck,Arm,Shoulder and pain going right through my back all on the left side,I'ts been there for over 3weeks went to Doc she just gave me a pain killer and said come back in a month,I'm scared stiff,the pain is dreaful,,,it feels like I'm having a heart attack, CAN ANYONE help,please..........

The symptoms include pain at the level of the problem (i.e. neck or back etc) and pain that may radiate down the shoulder, arm or leg (depending on where the problem is). In more advanced cases, muscle weakness or sensory symptoms such as tingling or numbness may occur. Radiculopathy is best diagnosed with MRI of the neck. Shoulder pain in the setting of a tremor may be due to Parkinson's disease. The tremor in Parkinson's disease occurs at rest and improves with movement.

The osteoarthritis may progress slowly over time. Strengthening the muscles that support the neck and cervical spine may lesson symptoms of pain and discomfort. ~•~ Dr. Parks This answer is not intended as and does not substitute for medical advice.

Are you having a lot neck and arm pain, how long ago did you have your fusion done?

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 18 years ago and in past three years the have found that I have highgrade osteoarthritis in both knees and degenerative disk desease and I'm only 47. I've been to two rhruematologist in past 8 months and a orthopedic doctor six months ago and nueroligist last month. I've had weakness in arms and legs coming in four about four years and my right arm is the worst.

12 years ago, I had ACDF C5/6 and bilateral open acromioplasty & rotator cuff refair on shoulders. Neither surgery relieved the burning, aching pain when I lift my arms above my head or do repetitive motion with my arms. Have done a lot of PT throughout years and it never helped. 14 months ago, shoulder doc did MRI that showed osteoarthritis of glenohumoral joint & undersurface partial tearing of distal supraspinatus tendon.

I have arthritis in most of my joints, but I have more than one type of arthritis too. If you are looking for symptoms of osteoarthritis in the neck, they include pain, stiffness, tenderness, weakness, tingling or soarness in the arms, headaches and even balance problems.

ve got a lot of pain at the top of my neck and extending into the base of my skull at the moment. My left hand/arm is also very weak.

i'm 52 , a couple month ago my neck and my head just started to poo , crack , very discomfort , is there a name for this ? should i worry or tell my doctor ?

It can be a sign of osteoarthritis, or it can just be from tight muscles in the neck and shoulder area. And like Trudie mentioned massage does help. I also use a heat pack that you can throw in the microwave. I've purchased them at kiosks at malls, at Wal*Mart, TJ Max, Avon- all over the place. If I find one for sale, I usually buy one. I have some for my neck and shoulders, some for my lower back that wraps around my waist and some for my wrists and ankles. I am addicted to heat packs!

I was in excruciating pain on the right side of my neck, shoulder and pain going down my arm. My husband came in after I called him and helped me get up to a sitting position. Got me dressed and hauled me off to my chiropractor. Every bump on the way there, hurt and I could not move my neck either way. Chiro could feel inflammation at C6/C7 and extremely tight muscles and spasming muscles.
