Hi, I am 71 years old and have developed servere pain in my right upper back under the shoulder blade. It helps if I lift my right arm above my head tp take away the severe pain. My doctor has sent me for an X-Ray which is going to take 10 days for a result. I have numbness in my right arm and fingers which makes me believe that something is preventing the circulation either a fibrositis nodual of sorts as I do not remember having any kind of accident as I woke up with a slightly stiff neck abput ten days ago which turned into this servere pain after a few days. I do really mean servere! Pressure on the point of pain does help or a very hot water bottle. I do not have brittle bones but I think it could possibly be a reaction to the statins I am taking called Pravastatin which I have only been taking for a month after complaining the previous statins seemed to be causing numbness in my left arm. I look forward to your comments Carole Daniells. (Mrs)
