Hi all,

I do office work & the past couple of months im finding the arm pain unbearable, achy, no upper arm strength, weak,numb etc the pain feels like it travels, to under my armpit & also hurts when i lay down. Rheumy - says nothing is swollen so nothing wrong. Ive tried various physio, ostepath plus other treatments. Does anyone else have this?... The thing is i keep having to go of sick cause of the pain & my work arnt happy & keep threatening me with losing my job! Its geting to the point where im wondering what other job i could do. ? Xx

    Hello daniw,  Iget this often and all of last week it was the whole right side of my body shoulder to foot. I do not get swelling either but your dr is wrong imho! Pain is pain!!! Explain to your dr you may need a note, pain med adjustments, and what not and if he doesn't help, get to another dr! Hope you are feeling better!
