Frozen shoulder
Unbearable pain in the left arm since October 2012. Xray and MRI of shoulder are normal. blood pressure normal and heart functions ok,
Since October i am unable to remove a jacket starting with left arm, or bear weight in left arm, occasional pins and needles, unable to lift arm above head without pain, slight diziness.
Pain runs between neck to shoulder blade throught arm to elbow. Cannot press down on left elbow to move from sitting to standing position. unable to sleep comfortably awakened by pain if i roll to left arm, cannot lie on left arm. Given nsaids which do not help at all, short term releif from icing the arm until numb. Had severe back pain and knee pains on and off during the last year, these have been releived by physical theraph, the arm pain is stubborn and refuses to go grief, grief. grief.
