Greetings Wally,

I'm relatively new to Medhelp myself but as I understand it...usually people post answers to others questions  when they have experiences or answers that may be of some help.  

I'm sorry no one has given you suggestions or answers.  I found your post when I was looking for any posts about shoulder and arm pain.  

I've had horrible, horrible pain in my left shoulder and arm for about 9 months now.  I thought it was broken or out of place.  My GP Dr thinks it is related to my neck problems and has tried for a long time to get any Neurologist or Neurosurgeon to help me.. but.. since another Dr. created my neck problems... no Dr who can help me will see me to help me.  So, I just get to suffer through it all till I die or heal at home.  Yep.. that's the state of our medical system in the good old USA today.  It's not a place for people who are sick or wounded.   This is not the country I grew up in.  

If you can still see Dr's.. I'd go to one and see if they can help you.  I wish you much luck.. and fast healing.  

Blessings...
