Shoulder issues

[Dalle36]

My shoulders have been bothering me alot as of late especially when raising arms above my head or doing repetitive actions. Could this be do to my dx of small fiber neuropathy or have to do with something else. They also bother me if I lay on my side when sleeping. Been going on for couple of yrs now but definitely seems as if its getting worse.

Hi, Thank you very much for your questions; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise opinion here without being able to examine you, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your shoulder pain. Your symptoms could be suggestive of either some nerve injury or a pressure on the nerve due to the muscle spasms due to fibre neuropathy. Another possibility in your case could be damaged the soft-tissues such as muscles and ligaments if you are over-doing any shoulder exercises or lifting heavy weights. Since you have persistent pain, I would recommend you to see a neurologist who can evaluate the details of your case and could better determine the insight of your situation.  In addition, it will be best if you would also visit a physiotherapist to let him/her assess your back and shoulders.  Hope this helps.
