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 have what feels like a pinched nerve in my left shoulder blade....The pain is not too great, but worries me because it causes my left arm to go numb for brief stints. I work on a computer all day and that causes stress in my shoulders. I am a 54 yr old male... The only relief comes when I sleep on that shoulder.
I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your shoulder and pain associated with it.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you are satisfied with answer do not hesitate to rate this answer at end of discussion.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
