Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulder,collar Bone And Arm

I am having major pain in my right shoulder/collarbone/arm..It all started about 4 months ago and is only getting worse. I cannot lift my arm so my elbow is even with my shoulder without major pain..When relaxing my arm I have a horrible ache from my collarbone down through my right shoulder to my elbow and then all the way to the palm of my hand close to my thumb... I am 35 yrs old, female, 5 4 and 357 lbs... my doctor doesnt seem to help me when i need it, I feel she does nothing because im on Medicare and MaineCare which are state and federal funded health...Its not fair to me for her to judge me and always let me suffer

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Your pain seems to be cervical in origin as it radiates all the way from shoulder up to your thumb. You need to have an MRI of the cervical spine done to rule out root compression. The other cause may be plexopathy which is quiet rare and associated with weakness as well.

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

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
