Hello- I've been having a nagging pain in my neck and shoulder blade( mostly on the left shoulder blade) for several months now. I have always thought it is either my mattress or pillow that's causing it and have changed several to no sucess. I went to a orthopedician last year and he made me do a bunch of hand/leg movements and also took xrays, which were all normal. He suggested I get an MRI (which I didnt get, since I wasnt very happy with the doctor).
I was wondering if anyone could advise any medication or anything in general that they find has worked for the pain in the back/neck n shoulders, my neck and back pain never goes away, the shoulder pain feels like a trapped nerve under the shoulder blade but I have been assured by my doc that it isn't :( so I'm a bit lost as to what's causing it and how to control it, any advise would be greatly appreciated, thank u for listening to me blethering on :) tc all,

I recently made a cotton neck roll to place between me and my pillow (to help support my neck) and it has helped slightly. I tried memory foam pillows but they are just to big or high for my comfort. I also have a long neck.
During the day I do have some neck pain, but it's not really that bad (it used to be so bad but I fixed it with physical therapy). I also use hot and cold packs which fix my neck during the day, if needed.
t have to take muscle relaxants . A mere pain reliever helps me out (Although I try to ignore taking it and walk and exercise to get it better).
I sleep on sides, back and front sometimes. I do not have a definite sleep style. I moved into a new place and want to buy a mattress. There are sometimes when i wake up with one of my hands locked. I am really confused as to what type, brand mattress I should buy.
Hi matd,
I broke my neck playing softball some years ago and have had issues with neck pain and shoulder pain as well as headaches periodically. I have purchased several expensive pillows that promised to relieve the headaches and pain but none of them worked. I found that if my pillow is flat and my neck well supported I sleep more comfortably and wake with less pain and headaches.
There are a multitude of opinions on facet joint and cervical injections.
I have found that there is a direct corelation between the pain in the neck and the mid back. I can make all of the pain go away by addressing the bulge (chin tuck and shoulder squeeze stretches). Please consider that perhaps the cause of your mid back pain is from the neck. My theory is that my sleep posture is the source of, or at least aggrevates, the mild bulge I have in my neck. The good news is there is a lot that can be done to treat the bulge.
Sounds like you might have a nerve impingement in your lower cervical spine, the burning in the shoulder, pain radiating to your side and the arm and wrist problems are all typical symptoms. Is this pain primarily on one side or both?
See your Doctor and see what he/she thinks. A referral to Physical Therapy would
probably help a lot.
When I say healthy I mean i have great health besides my shoulder pain. This pain has been going on since my sophomore year of high school when I was cheerleading. Ever since then my pain has gotten worse. I’ve been to mult. docotors had pt 5 times, mris, X-rays,ya sounds, emg, you name it. And they just can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Recently they found a little mark on my labrum but the surgeon said where my pain is doesn’t match it so surgery is no use.

We decided to use my daughters mattress for his bed and get my daughter a new one. The first couple days my son slept in the bed he noticed a little bit of red bumps on his back ( mostly shoulder blades) After a week of sleeping in the new bed he had hives on his face, neck chest, back arms . Terribly itchy. We thought he might have chicken pox and took him to urgent care. They said, no, just hives. Give Benedryl (duh??) and hydro cortisone.

In february 2011 I had to have neck surgery from c-3 to c-7 fusion on each disk and a plate with 7 screws. There was pain after the surgery and nerve damage in the neck and both shoulders and arms.

I would get sharp and shooting pains that went from my neck all the way down my shoulder and down my arm and through my right thumb and forefinger. The sensation is like if you put your arm on an electrified fence and held it there.
If the pain gets exceedingly worse, it would be time to go see a neurologist or someone who specializes in spinal injuries or surgery.

Six months ago, I strained my muscle between my neck and shoulder, after running. Sometimes, the pain started at the base of the skull and at times my shoulder. I went to the doctor and took a xray that did not show a dislocated or herinated disc. I went on vacation and did not run but swim. I was free of pain. I have started back to running and thepain is back. What could be wrong?
