As recommended in answer to your last post. We cannot diagnose on this site. You need to seek appropriate medical attention to find out what is wrong.

Hope you get answers soon.

We are not GPs although, we can suggest that you have words with your GP.

It sounds like a shoulder, or neck could be causing problems.

Talk to your GP and He will arrange some medications to reduce swelling and control any pain you may have, X Rays may need to be taken. to give you that needed diagnosis.

Good Luck

Hi - this sounds a lot like what I have too. I've just been diagnosed with a rotator cuff problem in my shoulder. You do need to either speak to your doctor about this or go and see a physiotherapist for advice. In my case, my doctor missed it but a physio got the diagnosis right. The doc then sent me for an X-ray and I'm now waiting for an ultrasound scan to confirm. The treatment then will either be a steroid injection and/or physiotherapy.

Please do go and see someone about this - either your GP or even a private physio. If it is this, the sooner it's treated the more likely they'll be able to resolve it for you.

It's sounds like tendonitis. Do you have pain in your shoulder? Tendons in your shoulder grow calcium deposits, which in turn causes scraping and pain. The calcium on the tendon, has almost a toothpaste texture and if needed the Dr. can go in with a needle and scrape the calcium deposits. and hopefully stop the pain. I just took painkillers and rode it out, and it finally went away! Just remember it could come back at anytime. Good Luck

See your GP. They can either give you something to help if they think its inflammation, or send you to physio if they think its a mechanical problem. Whatever, though, you need to start with your GP.

I am also going through the same problem. I've been having arm pain for a while. I usually use a heating pad and it helps a lot. I also go to my chiropractor at Dynamic physiotherapy clinic every week which is nearby. You should consult with a good doctor. They will better guide you and suggest you what to do in this concern. Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like it could be a rotator cuff injury. If so, may be looking at surgery and lots of physio but it will get better! See your Dr.😊
