    So glad I found this. Just had a CSpine MRI today because what my PCM thought was carpal tunnel, Phys Med thinks it’s a pinched nerve. Getting an EMG study in a couple weeks. I went in because I couldn’t do pushups or my yoga, hand was locking up, pain from should to wrist. And never thought that my scapula pain would be part of it. Gonna tell my med team about it

    Howdy. I do not have a history of neck injury. I am 51, healthy and fit. I was cleaning my wood boiler 4 days ago and it requires stooping down on the ground and putting one hand upward as I pull downwards with the other hand, all while kneeling on my knees and turning my head to look upwards and downwards continously.
    The next morning I felt a medium range discomfort in my left shoulder and neck. Here it is 4 days later with nearly the same discomfort. It is good at night until I've been laying down for more than 7 hours, then after I rise it worsens over a couple of hours of standing to do light household work.
    It gets so stiff where I can't look downwards more than 50% of usual motion, and 100% upward too, left, and right. When I do neck traction for 15 to 20 minutes with a towel, hanging upside down, or laying on my back level, it gets much better. Also dead hanging makes it better too. Then it returns. I have to repeat this throughout the day.
    It hurts in the middle of my neck, at the shoulder level, and sometimes across my left shoulder and upper arm, to look all the way down or up, and to look left, to stand for more than 45 minutes, etc.
    This must be a pinched nerve, correct? Since it retreats when I do the traction. Thank you!

    Mine is causing trigeminal neuralgia type pain in jaws, and all over head and face. Pins and needles in cheekbones area, forehead, etc. And burning sensations in my head in different spots depending on how I move Mt head/neck. I went to a physiologist...drove 2 hours through the warning alerts to stay home and went to Asheville the day before Hurricane Helene got bad. The doctor looked at an old MRI from 1.5 yrs before my neck injury and told me that it wasn't a pinched nerve, it was simply my fibromyalgia. 😐 He said it with a smirk so I think he enjoyed letting me down. Idk. I explained again that it gets worse and numbness goes down my arms when i turn my head and i feel pinching in my neck vertebrae. He said no, it's not my nerves in my neck, it's just my pain syndrome. I just said thank you and left. I went to a walk in orthopedic center and I was given 3 different types of meds...Meloxicam, Prednisone , and Flexeril. I was told to take these and do 6 weeks of PT before I can get an MRI. So I can't work or anything and sleeping is nearly impossible. I can't turn my head while driving. I feel hopeless. I can't even get an appointment with PT because their system was down from the hurricane. Couldn't get my meds filled. I already have a severe back injury that's changed my life dramatically and I have a benzo injury that's also ruined my life. I have fibromyalgia that is very severe. I can't believe I have this neck issue on top of it.

    I just had spinal fusion surgery for cervical radiculopathy in October. I had known about it for awhile wasn't too bothersome. Just kept losing feeling in my right arm.
    Last June i changed jobs and was working an overhead crane everyday several times a day. Looking up and to the sides. By 1 month in to it i was having unbearable rib pain with no injury to it. My hand was numb a lot. I went to the dr thinking it was scoliosis related. Found out my scoliosis wasn't that bad. They couldn't figure out what was wrong but sent me to a spine dr. We did an mri and they gave me two options injection or surgery.
    Using the crane made it hurt so much i went to the dr and found out i had severe stenosis snd the nerve was completely pinched off.

    Hi, this was so helpful! Thank you. I've had neck issues for years, and recently, I started getting numb fingers (on both hands but mostly the right hand), and sometimes the right foot. This has been accompanied by on and off neck and back pain. According to your experience, what would be a good place to start as far as seeking a diagnosis and treatment? Thanks in advance!

    This may be a really dumb question, but here goes. My GP is sending me to a physical therapist for pain in my shoulder. Can they actually know what is causing my pain without X-rays, MRIs, or tests that show inside your body/shoulder? My doc mentioned they will probably do ultrasound therapy. I'm short so I reached up to grip a handle to get ( up ) into a tall pickup and at the same time twisted to sit in the seat. My pain seems to travel around, from my neck < bottom of ear - front of the shoulder near collar bone - to my back next to the shoulder blade and even down that side of my chest.

    Can you describe the pain that is in your arm? I have been having all kinds of issues that I think are linked to nerve damage in my neck. When I think of arm pain in your video, I think of the whole arm.
    But I have a dull ache in my shoulder and in my elbow, like I’ve been throwing a ball and overworked my arm and my arm is sore that way
    But I haven’t been throwing a ball
    I also get numbing and tingling down the sides of my arm from shoulder down towards my wrist.

  • @frankleben5451
    @frankleben5451 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Mine is both sides
    Left is consistently worse but the right has been as bad at times.
    I cannot move my arm forward or to the sides without first pain, then excruciating pain until it reaches a point where I cannot physically lift my arms any higher.
    Putting on or taking of shirts or applying deodorant is difficult and excruciating.
    I was diagnosed with a herniated c-5 a decade ago.
    I had an MRI done three days ago and an appointment to go over the results tomorrow.
    I cannot sleep
    If I get 4-5 hours before it becomes unbearable and I just get up, I wake 3-4 times an hour with a jolt of pain.
    Everyday when I first wake, it is awful. I often lay there dreading the act of getting out of bed.
    A weird thing, if you were to grab my wrist and lift my arm, no pain.
    If I try to take over or if I do exactly as you did to lift my arm, excruciating.
    I have chronic non unions of the 5th metatarsal in both feet and a herniated L4-5 and T 10-11 and nothing has ever come close to the pain I’m experiencing in my shoulders. It is all day, everyday. Every single time I reach for a door, turn the steering wheel on my truck or now when I’m sitting still in my chair, pain.
    The first orthopedic I saw said it was arthritis 🙄

    Dizziness initially caused by lying on sofa on my left side with neck cranked against sofa arm looking at my phone.
    Has progressed into:
    Sensitivity when touching back of head, back of ear bone, cranium depressions and neck and traps leading to diziness and disorientation.
    Pressure building up in hinge of jaw and temples.
    Very pronounced at night when lying and when about to fall into sleep a sudden shock into the heart triggering adrenaline response flight or fight that. This repeats throughout the night.
    Recent arm numbness and tingling, left arm when sleeping on right side and right arm when sleeping on left side.
    Can not sleep on back any longer as breathing becomes difficult and throat closes.
    Initially when dizziness happed huge emotional and anxiety response was also triggered.
    Feels nerve related possibly due to muscle or skeletal issue causing impingement or compression.

    I'm feeling pretty frustrated right now.
    For over a year, I've been dealing with a nagging pain in my left trap, shoulder blade, and mid-back area. At first, it caused numbness in my thumb and index finger.
    After reviewing my MRI, the orthopedic specialist said there was some pinching in my spine and gave me an epidural shot, but unfortunately, it didn't help.
    Now, whenever I turn my head to the right and tuck my chin to my chest, I get a sharp pain. Could it be a tear?
    The pain is usually mild, but it flares up when I lift heavy. Any thoughts on what this might be?
