Burning Pain In Shoulder, Arms And Fingers. X-ray, CAT Scan Normal. Is It Due To Torn Muscle?

Hello Dr. Samuel, I have pain in my right shoulder for about a year now, so i stopped going to the him. The problem is the pain is still here and it is getting worse. It s at the top of my shoulder, a burning, painful sensation, and sometimes It radiates down my arm into my fingers. It feels like a torn muscle. I had X-Rays and a CAT scan done, but no problem was found. I feel that my left shoulder is starting the same pain now. I am a mechanic, and depend on my arm strength, but with this pain, sometimes my arm gets really weak.(right arm) -Terry

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It looks from your details that you are having pain at your finger which is of burning in nature.You are also having problem at your shoulder.
If such burning pain is associated with pain in neck then this can be due to compression of nerve in your neck ,this can also be due to stress ,deficiency of vitamin B12,Thyroid disorder,etc.
You should consult to your doctor for help,You may need a complete blood investigations to rule out the associated problem.
At present you can have a good nerve analgesic like pregabalin on prescription of your doctor.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
