Upper back/shoulder pain caused by situation at work
Comments (8)Oldroser, I unfortunately work for a 40-employee company that doesn't care about its employees' health. I live in a small town and my gp told me that many people from this company have orthopedic problems related to their work here. There was an older lady who had dislocated her shoulder one weekend. She was to have an operation the following Friday. On the Tuesday after the injury, she was back at work. I asked her why she wasn't at home, considering her pain. She said she needed the money. To make a long story short, she got a letter in the mail informing her that she was fired just prior to her surgery and when she showed up at the hospital, she found out she had no insurance. So, this company does not care about its employees and would fire me before using their worker's compensation. Also, I didn't take their medical insurance because I'm under my husband's....See MorePain and numbness in right arm
Comments (3)It could also be tendonitis or bursitis. I had to go to physical therapy for this and I totally forgot about the pain. One day I just thought "my shoulder doesn't hurt any more" and the pain completely disappeared. When I was going to PT, I couldn't bend my elbow or raise my arm over my head. Go see an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist. My neurologist sent me to an orthopedic specialist (this is when I found out I had severe osteoporosis). The doctor knew this just by feeling of my arms and sent me for a bone density test which confirmed the osteoporosis. Please post what you find out....See MorePain under my arm - need your thoughts
Comments (3)Hi Mona. Thank you for responding. You're right. I haven't been to the doctor in that long. I have been through a lot in my life over the past four years and now I am 1800 miles away from my family and friends after a huge move. I am ready to get healthy - I am working out, eating right, drinking a ton of water, nixing soda. AND I have made an appointment with a gyn here in my new town. She was highly recommended to me but it will take until Feb before she can see me. So I am planning on going to a general practitioner before that to get this "thing" looked at. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I know we don't know each other but just you saying "Chances are it's nothing" helped me sleep a little last night. Take care....See More2 Shot Vaccines - Which arm(s) did/will you use?
Comments (30)I read a medical article which said whichever arm you get the shot, immediately after, move that arm, lift something which weighs a pound or more. Keep moving it. The vaccine, or any shot given in a muscle will sit there unless you work that arm immediately to push the vaccine out to the blood stream. If you do nothing, it sits in the muscle and causes irritation, inflammation which slows down the process of getting the vaccine out of the muscle. The only way to get it out is to keep bending your elbow, lift something at least a pound up and down. Move the arm and move the vaccine out to the blood stream from the muscle. I had my first shot (Moderna) had to wait 15 minutes after, spent the time bending my elbow and lifting my pocketbook (which probably weights a few pounds), up and down for the whole time I waited. I had no soreness at all. Nothing! No side effects from the vaccine at all. Jane...See More- 16 years ago
