Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Discomfort And Cramp Radiating From Shoulder To Arm?
I have discomfort on the top of my shoulder down my arm--is this a muscle or tendon that a massage would help? It has been going on for 4 weeks after a yoga session. Feels better when I use it, if I am not using it feels like a cramp that radiates down my arm.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your 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 suggest cold compresses for local application. I recommend to maintain the shoulder immobilized to prevent further damage.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
