Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have constant pain across my back, under my shoulder blades. I have rotating numbness daily from hand to hand and sometimes it feels like a spider is crawling up my back. Now I am having hot/cold flashes throughout the day. At night, I feel like my chest is heavy and I am forgetting to breathe. I am a smoker and have osteoartritous in which I take tramodol. I have had xrays and ct scans of my abdomin with all negative results. I ve take reflux medicine with no resolve.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The most common symptom of arthritis of the shoulder is pain, which is aggravated by activity and progressively worsens. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using an anti inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren gel. Gentle stretching exercises can also be helpful.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
