Another "can you help me find a diagnosis" thread

[rokemon]

yes

I'm still here (used to frequent the other forum)

Some updates

first some tests I've taken:

MRI of the neck and head

blood work including hormone and thyroid

EMG

no diagnosis

What's hurting me:

Neck pain (one report said arthritis, rheumatologist said "NO WAY")

shoulder pain, mainly my right, limited movement, popping cracking noises all the time

some minor wrist and finger pain

intense shooting pain from my jaw, neck, shoulder, to upper arm (yes, I have TMJ also)

muscle atrophy on my right trapezius, visible muscle spasm on my left shoulder

rarely have a pain free day

can anyone help out?

[clouds z]

apple cider vinegar and acupressure?

I would suggest posting in the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome forum.
Here is a link-
http://forums.braintalk2.org/forumdisplay.php?f=24

The reason i suggest that forum is because the people there have a lot of knowledge about shoulder/arm/neck pain. At first glance, your symtpoms could be suggestive of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), but even if you do not have TOS the members of that forum would probably be able to suggest other diagnoses to look into because of their vast knowledge about the body areas involved.

I hope that helps, and I hope you are able to find answers and relief from your symptoms.

take care,
Liz
