My neck and shoulder still a problem

[joenali]

It sucks. I'm unable to swim right now because it hurts so bad. I'm constantly waking up in the middle of the night in pain. My mom has a torn rotator cuff and she seems to have the same symptoms. I now have an appointment with an orthopedist. I have actually thought it was my shoulder since I've been having issues. But no one seems to listen. I'm hoping I'm right. I just want to swim!! And the injection in my neck did 100% nothing.

Oh no big hugs!

Wow, I really hope that this new doctor is helpful and you get some answers and some relief soon.

I hope this gets you the right diagnosis!

I'm so sorry. I hope you get some answers soon. My husband had neck and shoulder pain, and it turned out to be a herniated disc in his upper back. Have you ruled that out?

No herniated disc.

Did you MRI the shoulder too, when you were doing the MRIs?

Yooowwwchh that sounds painful

[zoidberg]

My hip is still jacked up, too. It's been almost 8 months.

Unfortunately not. I wish they had.

Gah, that stinks. A lot of neck pain can be referred pain from the shoulder. Other than pain, do you have any other symptoms? Popping, numbness, decreased range of motion?

I hope they can find something out for you.

Gosh...this is miserable. I'm so sorry

Popping, decreased range if motion for sure.

I'd lay money on the shoulder being the problem, then.  Impingement is my guess.  I hope your new ortho is great!
