Common Questions and Answers about Pain neck to elbow

neck

Avatar n tn I have a pain in my shoulder that may radiate down to my elbow occassionally It occurs mainly when seated. Orthopedic DR. saw only a slight disk space shrinkage on C5. The pain is only on the right side. I am active in sports and need a better therapy. Chiropractic was no help. the pain is a 2 out of 10. It is more of an annoyance. Would a neck traction be warranted.
Avatar m tn My pain actually started in my neck, then to the shoulder, to my wrist, and lastly to my elbow. The elbow is the worst. Have you read about Reiters Syndrome? Google that to see if it describes your symptoms. It is a left-side only disease. Keep in touch if you come up with something.
Avatar n tn I was told I may need to eat more magnesium and potassium, which I started doing. The neck pain radiates across my shoulder down the top of my arm, to my elbow. My arm feels tired, if I lift it a long time, a sore feeling. But the sharp pain is on the neck itself. I've been massaging my neck, taking hot showers with water on my neck, using one of those pillows you can heat and wrap around the neck. I thought perhaps I just pulled a muscle and it will get better with time.
Avatar n tn I have seen a ortho who diagnosed me just by looking at me that I had a cervical strain. He sent me to pt needless to say after 2 days I was in so much pain that I stopped. So unable to reach my doctor I went to a chiroprator who actually took x-rays before he diagnosed and said I had nerve entrapment in c6. I have had one treatment but now I am in so much pain that I can not deal with it. My question or advice from you is what to do?
Avatar f tn I have had pain in my right elbow for many years. I have had a MRI scan on my neck some years ago, but nothing showed up. Consequently, no treatment was offered. Later I decided enough is enough, so I saw my GP again. She suggested I take Amitriptyline to help me sleep through the pain. I only get a very low dose -25Mg. I decided to stop taking them recently, as I did not like the idea of taking Antidepressants for a non-depressive condition, but the pain is now back worse than ever.
Avatar f tn I can hardly turn my neck to my left or right side without pain. Severe pain in the back of my neck and then it can follow down my left arm and elbow to my hand. I feel like I am loosing strength on my left side. Hurts to even lift my arm to blow my nose. I have severe pain on the inside of my elbow. Had a C5-C6 neck fusion done about 10 yrs. ago. Hospital done a CT scan when in ER and this is what the report says: There is no evidence of an acute fracture or subluxation.
Avatar n 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.

Avatar n tn This morning, my left arm felt weird. I felt tingly in my left arm and there was pain above my elbow. I tried to do something but my fingers felt a little numb on my left arm and I couldn't do anything. Then I felt something pop inside. It wasn't a bone or joint but something went pop. Everything was OK for a while but then my fingers feel a little numb again. Is this serious?
17484539 tn?1580565249 I took a spill on October 3, hitting the floor on my right elbow and right rib. After the initial impact, the elbow didn't hurt that much and was overshadowed by the much greater pain of the rib which it turned out, later, was broken. The elbow didn't bother me for a few weeks, but for the past 6 weeks has been getting worse and worse. I can't even lift a coffee cup without pain.
Avatar f tn My fingers and hand tingle, I have pain in the back of my upper arm, pain through my elbow, and pain in my forearm. I am unable to squeeze anything in my hand without pain. There is a burning pain in my shoulder blade and I'm losing the ability to use my arm with each passing day. Showering and washing myself hurts so much I come out of every shower worn out and nauseous. I can't hold weight in my hand. I can't push or pull or even open jars.
Avatar f tn I had trouble with my shoulders but that healed. But now I am having pain in my right elbow. It hurts to raise my right arm. And when I do I feel a very painful sharp sensation in my right arm. At night it hurts the most. To pick up even small objects is very painful to me. I am wondering what is wrong with me.
Avatar f tn But just in case, every so often I stop taking it to see if it is really working, to see if I still have as much pain without it, and to give my system a rest from it.... and well, I had just done that, and that is why I was having so much pain last night. I would really appreciate opinions about what is happening with my shoulder and if it is okay to stay on this kind of supplement longer term....
Avatar n tn I usually post in the addiction forum for pain meds because of my addiction. I have had low back pain for years and that was the start of the pain meds. In December of 07 I fell at work. I slipped on a wet floor and went down like a bag of potatoes. I didn't think I had hurt myself too bad. I was sore and had a bruise on my elbow but that was it. Well January came around and i woke up with a terrible pain in my neck to the point that I couldn't turn it. I went to the dr.
Avatar m tn see a neurologist..
Avatar n tn The pain due to resisted supination is much less. The pain seems to be about 4cm distal to the elbow crease and deep to the brachioradialis muscle. He has had pronator syndrome in the past but that pain was 2 to 3 cm medial to where he is feeling the pain now. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Avatar f tn But it does sound like you have that and it is very difficult to clear up and can give you a lot of pain. Can you raise your arm sideways? Another idea is tendonitis. What is strange is that it is in both arms? How could you have done this injury? Do you sleep in awkward ways and on your stomach? Or deal with switching machinery? See a physiotherapist. All the best.
Avatar f tn In addition to the above post, are you having any numbness or tingling to the arm? If so is it coming from the elbow down to the hand or from the neck down to the elbow? What makes the pain better? What makes the pain worse? What is your past medical history? What medications and supplements do you take? You need to see a doctor for further evaluation to make a definite diagnosis as stated above. We will wait to hear your answers to the above questions. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I had surgery a little over a year ago for a right ulnar nerve transposition and decompression. Since then the pain has continued and has spread up to my neck. I had an emg and it showed a nerve compression in my neck now which was not there a year ago. Can the compression in my neck be from favoring my arm ? please help...
Avatar m tn Has anyone had surgery to decompress the arteries and nerves in the brachial plexus? Thoracic Outlet Syndrome may cause many symptoms such as neck pain, shoulder pain, lightheaded, dizzy, wrist pain, face pain, headaches, weakness, sleep problems, etc. This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Shoulder-elbow-wrist-pain-and-tingling/show/2040000">Shoulder/elbow/wrist pain and tingling</a>.
Avatar n tn Later I noticed that the pain seemed to be concentrated on my elbow which was painful to touch. Now my entire arm is painful most of the time and the pain seems to be focused in the muscle as my entire forearm is sore when I contract the muscle by lifting the lightest load. This includes my fingers. I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to what the cause may be.
1503669 tn?1289489029 My finger were going numb and I asked my orthopedic surgeon he said that I have a pinched nerve in my neck. I started to go to a chiropractor and it seems to be getting better, but now I have noticed that my arm right before my elbow and right after my elbow seem to be getting an electric shock if I put my elbow on the table or hit it by accident I'm afraid that there might be more to my problem. Also my thumb has been going numb.Could you please let me know what I should do?
Avatar n tn Also, at some point in December, I cracked my neck to the left, and felt a sharp shooting pain go down the neck into my upper back, was sore for a couple of days after, then felt normal. I do crack my neck a lot, and never felt that before ( I know not good to do). Anyways, saw my MD for the shoulder blade, he said he felt muscle tension, told me from my anxiety, to relax, and sent me home. I went on a cruise the following week. Second day on the trip, started getting left arm discomfort....
Avatar f tn motion now good but 3 1/2 weeks ago started with muscle pain in that part of my back. now pain is severe and goes down arm affects elbow, hand, and numbness in left index finger. been to 2 doctors My family physician who prescribed vicodin, which helps me to go to sleep, but pain is worse when I wake up. Had cervical spine mri this afternoon,the pain just laying there was extreme. no word yet from neuro. Diagnosed with ms in1999.
Avatar n tn I was unable to do the exercises which they suggested without extreme pain. About 5 months ago, it got to the point where I couldn't raise my arm past shoulder length. My doctor had already tried me on anti-inflammatory pills which didn't work, so he sent me for an x-ray on my shoulder and an MRI on my shoulder. The x-ray showed a small bone spur pointing towards my elbow, but it only hurt if pressed upon. The MRI showed nothing...no rotor cuff tear..no tendinitis...nothing.
Avatar f tn what can a person do that has pain in his arms from his neck to his shoulder to his elbow to his wrist?
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.
