Avatar n tn Left is worse than the right, if I bump my arm or if someone sqeezes my arm, even lightly it causes me more pain. My arms hurt all the the time, I wake up in pain. I am 19 yrs old and have been having this pain since I was about 11 yrs old. I have been to a Rheumatologist, Orthopedic, Muscle specialist and Surgeon. I have had MRIs, Xrays and an EEG...nothing! The pain is always there, please please help.
Avatar f tn What you have is probably Scalene Myofascial Pain Syndrome. When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred to chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and index finger. It could also be due to pinched cervical spinal nerve or due to TMJ or a combination of both. Hence a MRI of cervical spine should be done along with a dental checkup to look for causes of TMJ.
Avatar f tn Low Vit B causes neurological pain and low Vit D causes bone pain. Combined the two can cause over all general fatigue and low feeling. Wait for the results. If they are low then correct supplementation will help relieve the symptoms. Also get a complete profile to rule out anemia. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
1023657 tn?1251844941 One of them is exercise. Fibromyalgia pain is muscle pain and the most important therapy for muscle pain is regular, gentle and low-impact exercise. It keeps muscles conditioned and healthy and decreases the amount of discomfort. It is very important to try low-stress exercises such as walking, swimming, water aerobics, and biking rather than straining exercises such as weight training. Heavy exercises worsen the symptoms.
Avatar m tn Is there a medical condition where a person have a very low sensitivity to pain, despite the kind of pain whether its a inner pain like stomach pain and broken bones or external pain like the amputation of a limb or a deep cut in skin ? I read about the term " Threshold of pain " ... which talks about the point where a person start to feel pain. Can someone have a very low point, that is to say, he won't be bothered with a broken bone ? or amputation of a arm or leg ?
Avatar f tn The RLS causes a spasm-like deep aching pain in the calves. Also, the lower spinal injury itself, it causes a very sharp pain. And the rest of my spine injuries cause my torso to hurt, much like fibromyalgia, nothing can be done for it to give me total relief. I will tell you what medication I take for the low back and RLS, in case you haven't thought of them. I take opiate drugs for my RLS.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the response. Lupus, Lyme, polio, etc. have all be ruled out based on blood work and exams. Similarly, DVT and related vascular disorders, plus FM, MS, and inflammatory disease have been ruled out. I'm not on any meds either. My last referral led me to a physiatrist who had no useful ideas regarding diagnosis, and offered no treatment/management. My PCP is at a loss as to what to suggest next.
Avatar n tn I have no neck pain and good ROM with each shoulder. When I raise my right arm/shoulder up sideways though, I do feel the right arm pain. I'm a 4yr breast cancer survivor and we were concerned about a possible cancer spread so we MRI'd the shoulders 2 weeks ago and the scans came back negative (I don't know that they covered the arm areas though..
2010625 tn?1329372056 I was just wondering what causes Fibromyalgia? Can Anxiety, Depression/Bipolar, IBS, or Genital Herpes cause it?
Avatar n tn There is no typical cardiogenic chest pain, which is crushing precordial pain radiating to the jaw, arm and neck, relieved with sublingual nitrates. other possibilities for the muscle spasms can be chest injuries, previous chest surgery, possible culprit, any history of athletics, stress fractures , pulled chest muscles. Fibromyalgia is an important condition of chronic fatigue which causes severe muscle pain, with muscle spasms in chest.
Avatar m tn shooting pain(feels like lighting) from my head, shoulder, arm and hip. This happens on a daily basis and is confined to my left side. I always start sweating on that side. I always feel like I'm in a fog or something(coginitively). I can't feel a needle enter my left arm, yet I can still feel some if they grab my arm. I am just numb to pain. The past ten years or so I have started having "flare ups".
Avatar f tn where just slight pressure causes pain. There are no diagnostic test to confirm this diagnosis. Along with this pain, many suffer with additional symptoms such as fatigue, pain in muscles after use can make some people nearly bedridden. Some physician's think its an autoimmune disorder. Over sensitive nerves under the skin. Causes are unknown. Some have experienced these symptoms after a traumatic injury, or perhaps a stressful event. There is no cure only symptom management.
Avatar n tn I know what you mean. My pain is in my left arm around the elbow and on top side of arm is a burning pain all day and sometimes i can't get much sleep from it. I was taking beta-blockers for years, but recently had to quit them because they were causing me to have a very low[drop dead] heartrate. The pain in my left arm started right after i stopped taking the beta-blockers. I have hypertension and a skipping heartbeat, which causes me a lot of anxiety.
Avatar f tn Occasionally, I get some reminder, like tonight, my right arm is not functional at all and the slightest movement sends a deadly pain signal, strong enough to warrant using DMSO (look up IWILLDOTHIS in this community, a thread with many natural and holistic ideas to deal with fibro, including DMSO) and self-hypnosis. Typing with the left hand only is challenging,lol! Meditation and Hypnosis must be my top options for pain management, with Reiki, a very close second.
Avatar f tn While it is true that a myocardial infarct is sometimes reflected in left arm pain, in such a case "rubbing" will not relieve the pain. It "ain't a heart attack". With due respects a chiropractor is not the appropriate "professional" to seek treatment from. The professional has an M.D. in front of his name.
Avatar n tn Well if and EMG can differentiate between carpal tunnel and ulnar neuropathy it should be able to tell you whether or not your arm pain originates in your neck, because that’s my result was "Chronic C6 radiculopathy". My MRI showed problems at multiple cervical levels and my Neurologist wanted to make sure they operated on the right level.
Avatar f tn My neck causes alot of pain, which radiates down my arm and into my head; Fibromyalgia. I have a hemmoragic ovarian cysts, which is causing intolerable pain; exasperated by Fibromyalgia. Chronic Migraine Headaches; Fibromyalgia. Knee pain and clicking; Fibromyalgia. I feel like finding all new doctors and not disclosing my Fibromyalgia, just so I can get an oppinion not fogged by Fibromyalgia. How do you get a doctor to see beyond the Fibromyalgia, and take other concerns seriously.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes pain and stiffness throughout the tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain and localized tender points occur in the muscles, particularly those that support the neck, spine, shoulders and hips. The disorder includes widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disturbances.
