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 Two weeks ago I woke up with the terrible pain in my left shoulder and lower neck. I work out a lot and have been under unusual stress. Bed I was sleeping in was terrible. I went to ER fearing a heart attack. All clear on that account. Doc told me I had a pinched nerve or severe muscle strain. Got hydrocodone and it helped some. Went on a 5 day cruise thinking it would be relaxing. Got a very vigorous massage - very bad decision.
Avatar f tn I am having severe pain in my upper right shoulder down through my right arm. This pain is taking my breathe away. The pain is unbearable at times. It feels like someone is taking my upper back and twisting it. I am also experiencing some burning in upper arm area. Pain extends down through my hands periodally. I have used the heating pad. My doctor has me on percocets and muscle relaxers the ibprofen. or vicodin didn't work.
Avatar f tn That night I felt most of the pain in the entire right side of my face, neck, and shoulder blade area. All of the muscles in my back on the right side started swelling and spasming. I ended up going to the hospital that night but before I left my girlfriend saw that my right shoulder blade was "out of place" being way to close to my rib cage and as she gently pushed it back I felt a wave of relief (or pleasure?) before it would start moving out of place again.
Avatar m tn Pressure now builds up at the base of my neck and I get very sharp pains there at times. Muscles on both sides of the neck are very tight and I have pain going to both shoulders and armpits now. I get aches that go up the back of my neck and into my head, usually causing a lot of pressure in my head and face, and sometimes some tingling or numbness around the outside of my head.
Avatar f tn I have been suffering for 3 years now, with severe neck,shoulder, and scalp pain. It is being duagnosed as degenerative disc disease, The pain is constant!! It is almost unbearable. I have been to so many doctors, and tried so many different drugs. I do not know where to turn. The muscles across my scalp is awful. I massage it all the time. Is there anyone else out there that suffers with this? What helps?? I am 60 years old and I do still work. It is not easy, but I must.
Avatar n tn when i move my shoulder like throwing to the left side of me i get severe pain in my shoulder n it goes down my arm to my elbow
Avatar m tn You may certainly have wrist tendonitis, but why the neck and shoulder pain. The pain and numbness you are having could be from your neck and an EMG would assist with that answer. It is a nerve conduction study. You also need an xray and MRI of your neck to rule out that as a cause for your numbness. I would see a neurologist.
Avatar n tn yes i have severe pain in my neck and sholder on my right side .and its causeing sever headaches.
760862 tn?1243097304 ) I had been experiencing some arm pain and finger pain with my neck problems and was told it was nerve damage. He gave me some medication for it and I don't take it any longer but it helped when I needed it for the pain in my arm and fingers. I was getting injections for my neck and the arm and finger pain just eventually went away. So I think you may be having some nerve pain from either nerve damage or problems steming from another injury you may have.
Avatar n tn I was taking it as a beta blocker to prevent migraines, but the shoulder, neck and shoulder blade pain was more severe than the migraines. Also, I was experiencing nightmares on a regular basis....causing me sleepless nights. True, our symptoms are not listed as side effects, but we need to get the work out, as I have read that others have experienced the same pain.
Avatar n tn mine is the same as yours, no head ache, just a bad pain in my lower neck, and left shoulder area. The bad thing is it happened on the third pushup, what the crap. It hurts, and for the first two nights I was in serious pain. I can hardly turn my neck, and I thought I had messed my back up. did you find out what happened?
Avatar m tn I have persistent neck pain and headache. I am conscious of it when I get up in the morning and it worsens during the day but is never severe. If I concentrate on something or watch a movie etc the pain level goes down / almost goes away. I also feel I have a slight problem in tilting my head to the right - I feel a pain similar to a muscle pull on my shoulder. I get feelings of mild nausea occaisionally. If I put on my phone headset in the office pain becomes more.
572846 tn?1217211208 TMA is right the source of her pain could be any number of things. Sometimes that type of pain can actually originate in the neck and radiate into her shoulders and arms. It could also be she strained some muscles in the area. It could be arthritis is her neck. Any good physican can do the initial evaluation and refer her on to the proper specilaist that can do the final DX (diagnosis)and TX (treatment). I wish you and your my the best.
975514 tn?1324997938 Is it possible to have a goiter you cannot detect? I am having the unfortunate situation of having to self diagnose. I have been to dozens of doctors, have Grave's and Hashi's in my family- and have lots of health problems. Last year I had a shoulder surgery that has left me in more pain. I am wondering now if I may have a thyroid problem, undetected. I have posted a few times within the past couple of days. I finally have an endo appt. scheduled.
Avatar n tn Symptoms (in general from herniated discs in the cervical region and lumbar region) suggesting the need for urgent surgery includes muscle weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, loss of sensation, particularly in the pelvis and severe and progressive pain. This will need to be decided upon by your PCP and/or neurologist. Lastly, where is your pain? Is it associated with the bulging disc or is it caused by the actual car wreck?
Avatar n tn I've been having alot of neck, left shoulder and behind my left ear pain. Its not regular.if i take rest it goes away but when i lift my 10 months old baby(8 kg) for even 20 min in my left arm its comes out.if i do some light physical work(in kitchen or home) it increases it spreads in my back and goes up behind the ear.when i come to office i get rest, pain decreases.i am software engg. by profession.
Avatar n tn I am wondering if cramps/muscle contraction/muscle rigidity/spams can occur in the head and cause so much pain? I take Relpax which helps when i have the most severe headache but after a short while my headache returns. I have pain that starts from the back of the head, it spreads to other areas often. Sometimes the pain starts in front of the head and in the middle or top of the head.
