What Causes Shoulder Pain And Tinkling Sensation Of Fingers?
Pain in my right shoulder/arm
I am HIV+ and I've been having pain in my right shoulder for the past month. I'm also having some heavy tinkling which starts from the tip of my fingers and reached as far as my elbow. Everything is effecting my right arm only.

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve or a brakial plexus damage.
Considering the fact that you are HIV positive, I would recommend performing some tests to exclude a possible Pancoast syndrome or an abscess in this region:
- a chest X ray study
- a nerve conduction study of the upper limbs
- a cervical spine X Ray study coupled with a CT scan of this region if necessary.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
