What Causes Shoulder Pain Despite A Normal Nerve Test Report?

I went to have nerve testing for my shoulder. The test was mainly in my hand and wrist. All below the elbow. He said I have no nerve damage in shoulder...but have signs if carpal tunnel. I m trying to find out why I m still in pain after shoulder surgery...thought I would get an answer doing nerve test. Do you normally check closer to the shoulder for nerve damage and not just in the hand area

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most important thing which I need is what surgery has been done. Why you thinking a nerve damage? Has surgery involved a risk of nerve damage. How much time has passed since surgery done. Could be infection, prominent implant, abnormal mechanics or arthritis setting in shoulder. Need a proper history and clinical examination for giving a diagnosis. In the meantime believe on your treating doctor, he knows best for you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
