Pinched nerve in shoulder blade with pain in shoulder, radiating down arm and numbness and tingling

My SIL called me tonight. Her husband has had prostate cancer and went thru chemo and irradiation. He is taking Gabapentin, Lyrica and for the pain Oxycodone. He is having the tingling, burning, pins and needles in his hands/feet and almost unable to walk because of these issues. HE is somewhat okay as long as he is taking the Oxycodone, once that wears off he is back to his almost immobile state. I told his wife I would get on line to see if any others in our field has dealt with similar issues ...

After 20 years MTing, my wrist and hand pain disappeared after starting editing versus transcribing. But now both shoulders ache and I have pain on lifting above head. The pain makes it difficult to sleep due to shoulder aching, both sides. Anyone else experienced this or am I just getting old age. I do not play sports or do anything else extreme with my arms. ...

Lately I am noticing increased shoulder and upper back pain when transcribing. Does any know of any solutions for this problem? Thanks! ...

anyone else has heard of or perhaps had, needing some input. I know we are not doctors but we hear and type so much that someone might have heard of similar. This past weekend I went to the ER with left shoulder/left upper arm pain. This pain has now been here 2 weeks. No arthritis, nothing else diagnosed except have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the past although this is 1 spot. I had EKGs, x-rays, have been given Flexeril, anti-inflammatories, Medrol Dose-Pak, pain pills, have been to P ...

For a while now, after I eat and become very full, my left shoulder starts to hurt and sometimes radiates up into my neck. I have had my gallbladder removed, have had angiography that was clean but again, this hurts and is driving me crazy. Has anyone ever experienced this? TIA ...

I am sitting here so depressed. I have two adult daughters and five grandkids. My oldest daughter is a widow (her husband was killed in Afghanistan in 2005) with two kids. She is a professional photographer. She took a picture of my other daughter and her kids which I fell in love with and when I asked her if I could have one, she said the price is $80 (black and white, 8 x 10). Needless to say with my lowly wages as a transcriptionist I could not afford it. She has become miss high and mighty e ...

I woke up 2 days ago with the worst shoulder pain ever and went to the doc where he did an x-ray. It showed I have a loose body in the joint space. He gave me Tramadol and told me to use ice and heat and maybe it would calm down on its own. Otherwise, he said he would refer me to an orthopedist for shoulder arthroscopy and loose body removal. He is very conservative (he knows this), but I would like to know if anyone has had this and if the loose body does ever work its way back to whereve ...

Hi all: Has anyone had trouble with right shoulder hurting, burning type pain, tired, feeling like your arm is going to fall off and making right triceps weak after sitting at the computer so long. I have been to doc twice, on pain pills, muscle relaxers, NSAID, hot tub for muscle soreness. I have not been to the neurosurgeon yet. I think it is a pinched nerve causing this as I searched symptoms on line and this is pretty close to what I am having. Driving me ...

I know it is the most common complaint doctors hear - and for years I have had the stressed-tired-overworked fatigue - I know how that one feels. But this has been going on a couple of months. I am bone tired even after I sleep a lot. My blood work showed I am hypothyroid so I started on medicine and also some supplements for that. But nothing seems to be helping. I have pain/fatigue across the area of my back right at the braline. My arms and neck feel heavy. ...

I am having SEVERE numbness in my head and down my entire spine. I have had previous cervical laminectomy. They are tellng me my C spine MRI does not show compression and my brain MRI is normal. I was afraid I had Guallain-Barre but wouldn't I be paralyzed by now? I am terrified. All prayers are appreciated. Thank you. ...

So, DH and I went to the doc's office today for his schedule appointment. he has had a nasty case of bronchitis this spring. Well, he went on ahead and registered, got all the paper work done and didn't have to wait long and they called him back. I had gone to say hello to one of the gals there that I know and when I went to the waiting room, DH was not there. I assumed he had been called back so went to chat with my friend some more. Fast forward to this after ...

The reason I ask is my sister told me tonight that she thinks she needs to see a neurosurgeon as she had a pinched nerve/sciatica lasting longer than a month and now she has charley horses from the knee up and are like knots in the leg. If she sneezes she can feel a muscle pulling and feels it when trying to get up. She has trouble sleeping and can't find a position, and has pain when sitting. What kind of doctor would you suggest? Someone told her chiro, I think ...

I have been an MT for over 20 years and in the past three months developed shoulder pain and numbness/tingling in my pinky and ring fingers all the time to where I cannot type well any longer. Dr. said it was ulnar nerve compression and recommended surgery after conservative treatment did not help. Surgery was three weeks ago and symptoms have not improved at all. I am 54 and if I am unable to work as an MT any longer I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be ...

Wish had never had nerve block to help with pain afterwards, now neck pain, etc. and just seeing if any others had this happen to them. ...

Indiana Michigan Power has requested permission from the state to raise overall electric rates 14 percent due to the environmental mandates placed by the EPA. "All electric utility providers, including I&M, are facing “a multitude of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations” that include rules to cut emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides as well as rules to control coal ash handling and disposal, and to regulate water usage and discharge from power p ...

Hey, m'lovely MT sisters, I suspect I have bursitis in my right shoulder. It started as pain in my right arm biceps area and I had an odd rash in the area, so to be honest I was afraid it might have been shingles (never had them, but heard they're very painful). Ladies, it's been about 6 weeks and it's still freakling painful, but I believe I was wrong on precisely where the pain was originating. I believe it's emanating at my right shoulder joint. I&# ...

hey guys, I've only be typing for over a year and my hips bug me all the time! its not my chair and its not the way I sit, i've had this checked on...I do get up regularly and try to stand for a little bit, walk to the bathroom, get a snack, etc. Any suggestions for exercises? I usually get a massage too, its a sacrifice (money wise) but it totally helps. She's given me some exercises too but i feel I just need some more...She usually jabs her elbow into my hips and it relieves th ...

I have been an MT/QA for 24 years. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, have had bilateral carpal tunnel release, and I have cervical impingement. I tried a new product called Evolv enhanced water beverage which has a formula called Archaea Active. It claims to "promote a healthy inflammatory response." Honestly, I was skeptical about it, but I am here to testify that this is truly a Godsend!! It was explained to me that it increases oxygen at the cellular level and ...

For the last couple weeks, whenever I go to bed, if I am on my back or side, I awaken several times with pain in my right calf and knee, if I turn on my stomach it goes away. The first couple hours I am up in the morning it is painful, cannot put my right leg over my left, cannot cross my leg to put on my shoes because it immediately causes a sharp pain to shoot through my leg. Cannot bend over because of the same. After moving around about two hours it is okay pretty much the ...

You guys probably don't remember but I'm the person who posted about hip/butt pain a few months back. Doc said it was bursitis, took no xrays or anything just said that was what it was. Well fast forward to today. i have been jogging lately...went jogging and got home and the pain in my hip was terrible. sitting is ok but moving hurts. I sneezed just now and my hip hurt. Any idea what it could be? This is different from the butt/back side of my hip p ...

Do you ever wonder why the gas prices are up and down? There is still about the same amount of gas out there (although it is a finite resouce that is going away) and we are still using about the same, more or less, with our more efficient vehicles. The price fluctuates because the Wall Street traders can make it fluctuate. They do this so they can make money. In 2008, (Bush Administration, by the way) the prices were over $4.00 a gallon. The Obama administratio ...

Hi. I actually have a health question related to transcribing! I've transcribed for over 25 years and have had no problems other than tight neck and shoulders; no hand, wrist or arm pain. Recently my company changed from cassettes to digital, so I'm using a sllightly different type of food pedal. I can't believe this would make a difference, but I don't know what else could cause this problem ... shin pain. Firs ...

I've been MTing for about 7+ months now. I've been getting a lot of stiffness in my neck. I wear a Philadelphia collar now. What's going on!!?? I work 6 hours a day. I'm only 22 so I don't think it arthritis. ...

Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up. Any suggestions?? ...

Have any of you MT'ers had SI joint pain? I have been suffering with it for about two years now. Doing chiropractic treatments, massage, and PT. I am beginning to think an injection may be an answer. I haven't tried an inversion table either. Any thoughts??? ...

I'm once again having wrist pain in my dominant hand which is worse at the end of my shift. I took a week off to completely rest it and it helps, but it still hurts whenever I most my thumb, at the base into the top of the radius. Does anyone have this problem? I had carpal tunnel surgery 10 years ago, but don't have the same numbness as I did before that surgery. I tried switching my mouse to the left hand, but it still hurts especially whenever I use the space ...
