Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Shoulder, Biceps And Forearm

I am a 57 year old female. For the past three months I have been dealing with right shoulder, bicep and forearm pain. I have seen family doctor, heart doctor, pain management doctor, nerve specialist and now a chiropractor. I have had stress test, ekg and emg. When it started I had pain all the time and made worse by walking. Since seeing chiropractor I have had pain lessen during most of the day but still aggravated by walking. I have tried antinflammatory medicine and and medicine. This past week I went on vacation and walking quite a bit. The pain increased the more I walked. Now the pain in my shoulder is constant again and worsens when I walk into my bicep and forearm. Chiropractor says I have trigger point issue but no one has defined a cause for this or why it is related to walking. I really need some more advise and hopefully a cause that we can treat.

Hi,

I feel it can be either rotator cuff injury to shoulder joint / bone spur on shoulder bone to cause pressure on local nerve which gets fine jerks while walking to trigger the pain OR problem with cervical spinal problem (disc or vertebral) causing pressure on nerve root supplying the part. The spine gets fine movements while walking to cause pressure on nerve to cause your problem. The exact diagnosis is possible with MRI of right shoulder and cervical spine. Please consult an orthopedic surgeon.

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

Regards,
