Dental Hygienist with severe neck and arm pain
by amy72, Oct 27, 2007 06:13PM
I am a Dental Hygienist who practices correct ergonomics. I have had neck pain for over a year. My xrays show my neck straight as a board with no curving. My Dr says it is a muscle spasm. I have completed physical therapy (which I believe aggrevated it more). For a couple of months I have experienced tingling in both arms and hands. The neck pain radiates to my shoulders and causes bad headaches. For the last week I have awakened with severe arm, elbow and shoulder pain. When this happens I cannot do anything for at least an hour and it gradually returns to full function. The other symptoms happen at anytime, I have not had an MRI or any other diagnostic testing other than xrays. I have become depressed because I have alot of pain with no answers. Please help me figure this out. Thanks!

Curious if you have tried any of the ergonomic designed operator chairs? I may try a KOBO chair, I am having difficulties 15 years into hygiene, to the point I may have to change careers!

If you're still having problems, look into a Rossiter Workout (google search it for more info). I've used this technique to help hundreds of folks with boggling pain symptoms.
