What Causes Pain In Back Of Shoulders And Numbness In Left Arm?
I am a 57 years old male, in fairly good shape. 6 0 tall and 194 lbs. For the past several weeks I have been experiencing pain in my back left shoulder. I visited my GP and they got me on some steroids for the inflammation and a muscle relaxer for the pain. I have been on the medicine for the past 6 days and the symptoms still exist, but not to the same extent, but still pain I have noticed for the past 24 hours though I am getting numbness down my left arm, along with tingling feeling. Should I be concerned with this?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, because of the poor posture such pain may be likely, along with the medicine it is better to maintain good posture if the pain does not responds then it may need some investigations, hope this information helps take care and have a nice day.
