Hi em, I get shoulder pain. I am actually at the doc for it now. Mine is pretty bad though, my whole arm gets this weird numb sensation and I also have pain near my breast and ribs. It has progressed, so if I were you I'd see a doc about it soon. It is probably just muscle tension, but if it gets any worse go see you doc.

Hi. what side is you're shoulder pain? mine just comes on from the shoulder to the elbow but goes away after a few mins then comes back. My arm n hands been feeling slightly numb all day too. the doctors never help x

Does it worry u or can u cope with it?

[emtw12]

and does it affect you're left arm hand too ?

It's my left side. It does worry me...I always think the worst. Again, the docs really didn't help, try think I need Physical Therapy. They treat me like I'm an idiot! It can be frustrating!!

I get shoulder pain & neck but I have pulled it I think . I had whiplash about 18 m ago & then I've made it worse by always being tense & also exercise . I have physio now which helps . The pain shoots down my arm & to my wrist & hand . At its worst my whole back was is spasm .

Tension can cause shoulder / neck pain

Have you had any one look at it ?

I haven't yet I'm going for an appt tomorrow I've been for the numbness and tingly arms and they says it was just a nerve thing but still keeps coming :/

they never do help mistiblue. have you tried deep heat if it is muscle strain ?

[mistiblue]

Oh I have tried everything. Heat, cold, stretches, Physical Therapy, meds (which only work temporarily). It's frustrating because I feel like the doctors could care less. Today the doc was getting annoyed with me and I just wanted to run away. If only they knew what I was going through every day of my life, then they would be sympathetic.
