Have you had xrays or scans.

Could It be a trapped nerve.

Pls go back to the GP and get some answers. This is simply unfair and Is causing you a great deal of stress and pain.

I wish you luck.

Soft hugs,

I have a shoulder impingement, it sounds a lot like the pain you are getting. The pain clinic are all about treating pain, they are not really diagnosticians. As Ryan said, go to your G.P at least he should have some clue ! And send you for an X Ray or Ultrasound. I had my shoulder injected for five years before surgery became necessary, that maybe all you need too. When you have chronic pain any new pain feels very acute and your brain notices it even more. If you don't get some treatment for it, it's likely to freeze, and that makes matters even worse. If you have a T.E.N.S machine try it, it works well on my shoulder, you maybe lucky and it will help you. I wish you some relief from your awful pain.

calcification can build up in the shoulder, causing extreme pain and limited movement. it can be seen on normal x-ray. steroid injections are used firstly, then arthroscopy under anaesthetic if needed. I've had it done twice from 2007, x

[missdiannedyas23 in reply to dillydally1]

What does that mean arthroscopic please it really hurts I seem to be getting less movement as weeks go on xx

[dillydally1 in reply to missdiannedyas23]

sorry for late reply, not been to good. arthroscopic means they put you under general anaesthetic (asleep). they then make 2 or 3 very small cuts around painful shoulder then put a scope in (camera) that shows inside your shoulder, and do what needs doing to your shoulder. much better than one larger cut x

This could be pressure on the nerve roots in the neck. Worth getting an MRI scan as well as seeing a chiropractor.

Make sure you discuss it with your GP to ensure that there is nothing untoward.
