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.
What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation In A Dislocated Shoulder?
I dislocated my shoulder about a week ago, but I still have sharp pain through it, which is now shooting through my neck as well as down my arm, along with tingling and coldness when I raise it above my head. Is this normal? Also, should I be using a sling?
Your symptoms seem to be related to brachial plexus compression. A possible bulging disc in the cervical vertebral column can not be excluded either. Coming to this point, I recommend consulting as soon as possible with your orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist for a physical exam. Performing a brachial plexus and cervical spine MRI is necessary.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
