What Causes Sharp Pain In The Shoulders, Back, Neck And Thighs?
Hi, I have had shoulder pain for 3 weeks now and it is going up to the back of the neck. I had a cortizone shot, but that didn t help, no ice, heat, ibuprophene or Advil helped. Going to an orthopedic doctor in 3 weeks. That s the soonest I can get in. Also, my right leg goes numb and tingles during the night while I lay on my back. Then I get a sharp shooting pain in my thigh. Can you please tell me what s going on?

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, the symptoms point towards disc prolapse which needs to be evaluated with X-ray and MRI.
