Back and Spine (Chiropractor) Questions

Hello, I have had on-going pain and a hard knot under my right shoulder blade for a few months. It started slowly and has increased to daily over the past three weeks, to the point of constant tingling/numb arm and hand.
My arm and hand go completely numb while I am sleeping.
The pain is now starting on my left side, too. I don’t have insurance so can’t afford to get it checked.
I have scheduled a massage, but wonder if it could be more serious.
The pain has switched from left to right side over the past few years.
There’s also a loud “crunchy” sound when I rotate my shoulder.
I used to experience a lot of neck pain and a chiropracter said that I have scar-tissue on my left side, but now my right side is giving me the most trouble.Any advice or help is greatly appreciated – I am in agony!

elbow pain

Back and Spine (Chiropractor) Questions

Hi, I have had sore elbows and arms for 1 and 1/2 years now.
I have done physio, massage, ultra sound, acupuncture with electric current, osteopath, topical creams, ice, exercise, worn braces.
I also take Vioxx everyday. the doctor cahnged from Celebrex to Vioxx. I had cortisone shots last winter but they wore off.
The pain is getting worse, not better with time and my arms feel stiff and weak all the time.
I am 49 and want to feel better and be able to participate in more things. I am naturally very flexible in my arms (double jointed) but my loose ligaments seem tight now. Could there be any other solutions that you could suggest? Could this condition be anything other than tendonitis? The elbow bone is very sore to the touch but the weakness and soreness goes all the way down my arms .
The right arm is the lateral bone and the left arm is the medial bone.
I don’t know what to do anymore.
I don’t know if this is related but my knees have been sore in the last couple of weeks too.
Stairs hurt sometime and they get tired if I stand for a long time. If I twisted my knee how long should that take to heal? Hope you can help.
Thanks, Mary Ellen
