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.
About 4 weeks I began having pain in my shoulder, in the top front and shoulder blade area that feels like I m being repeatedly stabbed with occasional burning sensation. This feeling does not stop. I wakes me from sleep. I cannot use my arm well to work (I am in construction) and have had to perform many tasks with my other hand/arm. I am having muscle spasms all the way down my arm, past my elbow and in my chest. I thought it was a tight muscle, like a knot and would go away. The pain has increased over the past 4 weeks and is unbearable. What could this be?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also recommend to avoid movements of the shoulder to prevent further damage. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
