Scapula Pain without injury?!
Question: Scapula Pain without injury!?
I have been having pain in my right side scapula area for 2 1/2 weeks now!. I didn't injure it, well I fell in the army about a year ago and landed on my right arm but I don't think this would just start hurting now!. It feels like bees are stinging me and severe cramping!. When my boyfriend rubs it he says he can feel fluid and a knot in there, also when he rubs it, it feels like someone pushes their finger against my throat!. It also makes a crackling sound!. I get shocking sensations and my right arm/shoulder feels really heavy!. I have a lot of cramping it feels like the pain is spreading and my shoulder is starting to stiffen!. I did go to the doctor and he did and x ray and no broken bones, he diagnosed me with bursitis!. He prescribed me steroids (medropack) and its not helping, getting worse!. HelpWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Sounds like you need to see an orthopedist ( if this was not the doc you already saw), as it also sounds like you have nerve involvement!. An x-ray does not pick up on things that a CT scan or MRI will!. A pocket of fluid could be pressing on nerves, hence the shocking sensation!. If the steroids are not helping, I don't think this is just going to go away!. You will need medical care, and don't wait too long; it could come back to haunt you!. I had a slight knee problem in my 20s, did nothing, and now I am 40 with arthritis in that same knee!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
