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 am a 25yr old healthy female, i am 75kgs 2 months ago i experienced a slight dull pain in my right shoulder over the next few weeks the pain got worse and my doctor put me on diclofenac which helped with the pain. 2 weeks later my doc decided to take me off the diclofenac to see if the inflamation had gone but the pain came back and much worse than the 1st time also the range of movement was very limited so he sent me for a ultrasound scan, this revealed a slight bursitis inpingement in my shoulder from overuse, i have now had one steriod injection in my shoulder. my question is the problem had now started in my left elbow and if i dont take diclofenac the pain can be chronic also sometimes my little finger goes numb on my left hand and sometimes the other joints in my body get a little stiff and sore i have also had problems with what seemed to be a bit of carpal tunnel or fluid retention around my menstral cycle about 4yrs ago which has completley dissapeared now. the problem with my right arm and left elbow seem to be perfectley fine during the day when im working but once my body has not been active...in the morining and when i get home from work those 2 joints get sore and i get numb little finger what could this be???
