Painful lt shoulder
Posted , 4 users are following.
My lt shouder is very painful on and off for the last two weeks and recently I have been having pins and needles in my left hand. I do suffer from neck arthritis and have calcified deposits on rt shoulder. I had mri 7 yrs ago and it detected a piched nerve and neck arthritis. I am not sure whether the pain is due to pinched nerve or calcified deposits. No medication seems to work most of the time the pain is manageable but sometimes it is very bad on and off not constant. I am using voltarol gel with no effect. I have started to use naproxen with no effect as well and it makes me sleepy. I think I will go back to panadol. My neck feels stiff and most the pain is in lt shoulder blade. I can still do neck exercises and move my left shoulder up and down with no problem,the movement does not seem to be restricted. When I had an injury and xray showed calcfied deposit on rt shoulder I could not move it at all. I had this problem before but cannot remember how he got better but I remember seeing a physio. I do have flare up but it gets better after a couple of weeks. I willsee gp next week if it does not get better. Can anybody relate to my symptoms pl? Thanks

Hi
I can definitely relate. I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder in both shoulders in April 16. I received injections in both which didn't work. My surgeon ordered an MRI of cervical spine and I was advised it was my neck causing both my shoulders to be impringed, to this day I still can't fasten my bra or dress myself properly. I'm awaiting a nerve block to see if I get any relief then possibly an operation on my neck but I also have pins and needles inb3 fingers of both hands. Hope this helps and good luck

I have Cervical Spondylosis which was diagnosed, about four or five years ago, by a consultant as the hospital. My pain is not so severe now but an ache whenever I try to hold my head up ( it constantly drops towards my chest when sitting or reaching forward. I am on co-codamol, two tablets, four times a day and gels etc do not work for me. My left arm is affected by my neck, without warning, at any time and my hand goes dead but has a tingling feeling too. I have been warned that if I do not have fusion my breathing will be affectedlater.
