I am in severe pain in my shoulder joint. Nothing seems to help. Can anyone?

Posted , 7 users are following.

I have tried many rubs and even CBD oil but nothing seems to help. The pain is in the front of my shoulder joint in the little hollow there. An ex-ray showed bone was rubbing against bone in about three different places there and some inflammation. Is there anybody out there suffering the same thing? And if so can you help?

    Funny; in the last couple months I have had intermittent severe pain in both shoulders. it seems I have it more while trying to sleep, but not all the time. Some nights it'll be excruciating, then a few hours, it's like it never happened. I will say, this started soon after starting Humira. I don't know what or if there is association with that.

    Hi mitzi

    I get relief with a cherry stone heat pad on sore areas. Also, it may sound daft, but make sure you have the correct pillow for sleeping. I had months of trouble with my neck at the top of my spine, and magically a new pillow really helped. Although painful, try stretching exercises and plenty of oily fish. I also swear by honey. Works for me. xx

    You need to have your doctor check to make sure you do not have PMR - this is how my RA started and just progressively got worse. Nothing helped except Enbrel.
