What Causes Pain In The Armpit After Taking A Cortisone Injection?
Don t have money to spend on a question, have no income and am home recooperating..... Am experiencing what feels like major nerve pain. When I turn my head/neck to the right I feel instant nerve pain under arm pit down to elbow deep pain also when I move my right arm in certain ways I get the same pain. This started right after a cortisone injection in my right shoulder due to torn rotator cuff, what could this be?

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Since the pain occurs while moving the head from side to side, it is likely to be due to an intervertebral disc pressing on the nerve radicles on such movements.
This can be confirmed with your doctor. If you can afford it, a MRI of the neck would show the extent of the problem.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.
