Neck and shoulder pain exercises

Common Questions and Answers about Neck and shoulder pain exercises

neck

Avatar f tn I am wondering if bearing the pain and doing exercises to strengthen my neck and shoulders would be a better solutions on helping my pain long term.
Avatar n tn Then it started being consistent. The pain traveled up to the top of my shoulder and my neck and sometimes down my arm. A little background: I can pop my shoulder in and out of place by myself with no pain. I could do that since I was little. During summer, (June and July) I had x-rays and an MRI done of my neck. The doctors thought I could have something on my spine by my neck causing the pain to travel down.
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 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.
Avatar f tn m getting the run around. The neck pain I have lived with for years but the shoulder and gripping pain in my upper arm is really ugly. My shoulder hurts when I move it but the gripping pain around my upper arm (about half way between shoulder and elbow) feels live a red hot band squeezing my arm. It causes me to double over in pain and I have very little use of my left arm on most days. The hydrocodone does little to ease the pain.
Avatar f tn Thank you for your advise. I had a injection yesterday between C8 &T1. It went ok. Had a problem as soon as I was getting up, saw starburst everywhere. They had a very hard time getting any blood pressure, even thou I was talking to them the whole time. It took 45 minutes to get my blood pressure up to 103 over 73. I noticed last night around 5:30 I got a head ache (injection was at 2:30). Still have it, waiting on the nurse to call me back.
Avatar n tn ve seen the DO 4 times, seen a dentist for possible TMJ, seen an ENT (nothing wrong in my throat after looking inside), seen a neurologist (nothing neurological, he sid ) about my neck pain for 9-10 weeks. the pain subsides a bit when i am standing up and i feel the front of my neck tightening when i am sitting down. i have asked over and over but got no answer if there is some muscle pulling somewhere that's straining my neck when i sit down?
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.
1088646 tn?1256949923 How can I relieve some of the knots and pain from my upper shoulders and neck naturally? This has been going on for 3+ weeks now. I have tried to "stretch" it out but that's not working. HELP!
Avatar m tn Do rotatory neck exercises. Do shoulder and upper back exercises. If these increase the pain, then show this to a doctor. Take care!

Avatar m tn Arcoxia, Anarex, Lyrica 75mg, Clonotril 0.
Avatar f tn I also get shooting pains that come from deep in my shoulder/arm pit and down my arm and occasional pains coming from my neck down to my hands. For the past couple of months I have been coping with pain in both of my shoulders, at times limiting my range of motion. That pain is not consistant and gets better with rest. My elbows have been particularly tender and painful to the touch, especially the ulnar anterior side of my right elbow.

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 n tn Continue with the exercises and try to see if there is improvement. Use chairs with good support for the head and neck and provide her with good pillows and a stable bed for her back. She may engage in low impact exercises like swimming if indicated.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone! I'm about 9 months pistol, very successful. I've had none of the issues I had before surgery...thank GOD! I know I'm not 100% and have more work to do but I'm having a terrible stress reaction (many contributing factors) and it manifests through my neck, into my left shoulder (trapezius muscles), and up to my head as a whopping tension headache. When I try to do exercises, I have a whopping flare of pain in my left temple and front of head.
Avatar f tn Some of your symptoms are from your shoulder (pain) and some are from your neck (pins & needles). Swimming and water polo are really tough on good shoulders. After swimming most of your life, you could have developed some pretty bad motor patterns, ie using the wrong muscles to make movement occur.
Avatar n tn I have pain in my left shoulder into my neck plus my left ear is feeling numb any thoughts as what this might be
Avatar f tn Yes, the ulnar nerve, the shoulder and the neck are related. The ulnar nerve originates in the neck. You probably need to do some neck stretches and posture related exercises. Just see your Doctor for a referral to a good Physical Therapist. No Chiropractors.
Avatar m tn wake with headaches and severe neck pain. Weakness is horrible - sometimes arms just ache and hurt and just have to quit doing anything. Current use aspirin and muscle relaxers as allergic to most pain meds. Can this be serious or will it just may take years to get better? MRI showed increased signal at C5/C6m but fell in driveway a month after MRI - had to have xrays on army and shoulder as couldn't even lift coffee pot. any advice on how to get it better would be great.
Avatar f tn I wanted to thank everyone for their prayers for my surgery on July 16th. I did not post after surgery because I have been struggling with my recovery. Like misfit's daughter I had the same problems after surgery- pain in my right shoulder and upper part of my right chest. The doctors looked for a clot but did not find one. I was told that my my spinal stenosis in c5-8 was worse than thought before surgery and if known they would have recommended surgery on this before the decompression.
