Going through a flare in my left shoulder, down my arm and hand.

Worse thing apart from pain is the inability to lift my arm up above shoulder,

soooooo painful unable to lie on that side to sleep.

Trying everything to deal with it but little is having an impact. :(

Hi Happy5

When I have had a similar problem only a depomedrone injection helped and it worked like magic.

I had the injection into the shoulder joint.
