The part of my left arm right above my hand seems like it has been sore for about 3-4 months now. What is going on here ?? Anybody know, it hurts like heck when i try to lift hardly anything. Help - Thanks-Matt
Thanks all for your comments, I think the nerve impingement looks favourite as all the signs are it is nerve related. I am booking physio to see if this might resolve.
My wife has what sounds like the same problem you are having, but my wife's pain started from extending her arm behind her and typing. It happened over time but the doc's diagnosed her with Nerve Impingement in her rotator cuff (excuse me if I misspelled anything). She will be having surgery to correct this, but from what we have been told it will be a long recovery after surgery. Did you have an MRI?
I don't know what those drugs are you listed but have you tried plaquenil. My understanding per my mother-in-law it is for lupus patients and used for anti-inflammitory purposes. My mother-in-law had same exact problem, and they put her on that and she has not had a problem since. It took some time to work through her system but well worth it, she said. Good Luck!!!
Do you have swelling, shiny skin, skin color changes, hair growth changes, or excessive sweating? If so, you might have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, also known as Reflex Sympathetic Pain Syndrome (CRPS / RSDS).
