Suggest Remedy For Severe Shoulder, Upper Arm, Neck And Hip Pain

All of a sudden I began experiencing severe shoulder, upper arm, neck, hip and knee pain on both sides of my body. I could not stand from a seated position. I could not raise my arms above my head. When I was helped to stand, I had trouble walking. I cannot sleep at night because the pain is so bad all in these areas. I cannot roll on my side or get out of bed without help. Have not been injured or done anything strenuous to cause this. Am waiting to see a rheumatologist as we speak. Any idea what could be happening? Rheumatoid arthritis has been ruled out, help me please. Thank you.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might be having impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tear.I would suggest you to get MRI of the shoulder joint to confirm this diagnosis. If there is any tear than you would need a arthroscopic surgery to treat this condition. if there is impingement than steroid injection can also be given in the shoulder joint. I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks

Dear Patient
Generalized body pain of sudden onset mostly is due to myalgia most probably due to viral fever. Do you have mild fever? Arthritis is very less likely.
Take rest and start taking tablet ibuprofen 400mg thrice a day. Apply diclofenac gel to both limbs and you will get relief. Do not worry.
