Suggest Remedy For Numbness In The Neck & Shoulder Blade

I have numbness at the base of my kneck and right shoulder blade. Whenever I do something with my right arm, i. e., rake the yard, etc. It gets very swelled and red and numb. It s very painful. I cannot figure it out. Really limits my daily activities. The more I use my right arm, the worse the swelling and redness and numbness gets.

Hello,

Such pain at shoulder after work can be due to tendinitis at shoulder.I shall advise you following to have relief in this:
- Avoid heavy work for few days.
- Apply warm fomentation with help of water bag,at least for 3 times a day.
- Take a mild analgesic like acetaminophen for relief from pain.
- Take help from a physiotherapist. He shall teach you some exercises and may use TENS, LASER and some other modalities to give you relief.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
