The pain sort of runs down the back of my neck into my right shoulder blade. It doesn’t hurt when I move my arm, only when my neck moves to the right. I was thinking maybe a pinched nerve? I don’t think I’ve participated in any physical activity lately that could have caused this either.

I have lost over 50% use of the arm and shoulder and have not gotten a good nights sleep in months. The pain has gone into my neck and cortizone shots have not helped. I have had MRI, x-rays, physical therapy, seen a chrioprator, use ice and heat, advil and muscle relaxers. Anyone that can help me or give me other advice? I am sick of doctors and sick of the pain and I can not help but wonder why this is still bothering me.

Symptoms: Difficulty to laugh, sneeze, during which pain increases in the shoulder and arm areas considerably. Doctor says the nerves have become twisted with the muscles and slow recovery is promised with regular exercies. But this pain has started nearly 1 month ago (mystery cause) and is not going away…Any cause/ remedies is highly appreciated. Cheers.

I was diagnosed with Fibro by a Neuro surgeon and referred to a pain treatment center here in Kentucky. The doctor was very cold and unsympathetic and kept asking me about my casper report. I’m also on Xanax for anxiety and I only get it from my Family physician but he’s partnered with several other physicians so their names came up on the report looking as if I’m doctor hopping. He prescribed me Lortab 10s 2x daily and Tramadol 3x daily along with Zanaflex and Lyrica. None of this helps. I’ve been off work since October 1 and waiting short term disability from my insurane company.I stay in constant pain. I have shoulder, back, head and neck migraines at least 4 times per week.I’m exhausted and can’t do household chores which is hindering my marriage. My husband is very unsympathetic towards the severity of this disease.I need my doctor to prescribe me something that will work continually through the day, not for just 4 hours. Any suggestions? Oxycontin? Fentanyl patch??

I started getting a little twinge of a pain in my neck Monday noonish. Now it’s Friday and not only has it not gotten any better, it has actually gotten worse. It went from being a little twinge to being an all out war on my muscle from the base of my head to my shoulder I went to the ER today and the doc gave me Lortab but that didn’t touch the pain and actually made me seriously sick to my stomach (felt like vomiting, weak, slow heart beat and breathing, cold) Heat only temporarily eases the pain some but not much. The massage head on full heat in the shower works while I’m directly under it but as soon as I move the pain comes rushing back. I can’t barely move my head much. I can’t look up or touch my chin to my chest without wanting to cry. The muscle actually feels like its hot inside. I had a migraine last night as well. I took 12 tylenol and 2 motrin during the course of the day yesterday and nothing seemed to help much at all…any advice on what my next step should be
The pain is…well..a pain…it throbs like with my heart beat, and when I bend over to pick something up it aches right up into my head. It feels hot, but not like a burning hot, like a fever hot…and that’s deep inside so it’s not even something that can be felt with my hand. I have had constant heat on it since getting home and it’s just doesn’t help much at all…

I have really stiff shoulders, and ive tried everything to help them go away but they never do! I just have such horrible knots in there. I had a chiropractor tell me it feels like I literally have rocks in there Couldnt afford to see him anymore :/

Ive tried massages, hot baths (with epsom salt), all sorts of relaxation techniques and such.

Any ideas on what I can do?

Please dont tell me to see a doctor. I dont have insurance anymore.

I have started to work out recently and been doing push-ups everyday. Last night I did a few but did not notice the pain till about 3 hours later. When I woke up this morning the pain was even worse. Now I can barely lift my arm. There is an extreme amount of pain right at the top of my left shoulder. I can bend my elbow and my forearm but I can only lift my arm a few inches until the pain starts in my shoulder. Did I do something or pop something?

Thank You
