Winging and chronic shoulder tendonitis?

<t>Hi all. I am certain this had been asked before, but I can't seem to find it in a search so here goes again.<br/> I have had scapular winging due to a LTN injury for almost 5 years now. The good news is, that I can now raise my arm much higher with some effort even though the "winging" is still p...

Re: idiopathathic brachial plexopathy

<t>It may seem bizarre, but when reading about all of the heavy labour you have done, the one thing that stuck out most in my mind was the mention of the "tetanus shot"...seems to be a very common denominator in brachial neuritis...although the doctors won't admit this. <br/> Perhaps you should talk...

Re: idiopathathic brachial plexopathy

<t>Jerry<br/> I can certainly relate to the shoulder/arm pain, but have personally never experienced muscle tremors or dizziness (aside from med related side effects).<br/> Who has diagnosed the brachial plexopathy? How did they come to this diagnosis (testing)?<br/> You should see a specialist in t...

Re: Risks of CT Scans

<r>Oddly, I just finished reading the same article on Medscape. <br/> This is something I have wondered about for years. There is so much focus on smoking and second hand smoke (not downplaying their danger) that I wonder if more attention should be paid to the dangers of these scans? I have persona...

Re: wish me luck

<t>I have been down the same road with my GP. I will never understand why these doctors insist on labeling everything they do not fully understand as psychological. This kind of arrogance can harm a patient irreparably! Despite this, I wish you all the best and you get the justice you deserve in you...

Re: oxycotin

<t>I could feel my blood pressure rising as I read your post! I am so sorry you are being treated this way. I don't know your history and so can't comment on why as you say "no pain doctor will even see you", but it seems criminal to me for these doctors to allow you to suffer like this. Perhaps you...

Re: Update

<t>Oops. forgot to mention that there is a pretty good diagram on the site as well showing the location of the various nerves and particularly the long thoracic nerve which would be causing the winging in most cases, although sometimes there can be accessory or suprascapular nerve involvement as wel...
