Shoulder and Neck Pain

Susan1947

I have had Arthritis of my spine for years, and just got better with my Sciatica pain. Now I have terrible pain and stiffness in the right side of my neck going across the top of the shoulder. Then it radiates to the front of the collarbone. Someone said maybe its Bursitis. If I sit back in my recliner I can get relief. It is very painful when I am in a sitting position in a chair or if I try to lay down on my right side. If I lay on the left side I can almost stop the pain.
Has anyone experienced pain like this. Hurts to turn my head even when I am driving.
I am wondering if it can be related to the back problem, and not all Arthritis.

It sounds a pinched nerve to me in your cervical area.

Next thought would be the season change. This always puts under.

I would for sure keep moving that arm as much as possible. I have experienced a frozen shoulder twice and you don't want that. So easy gentle stretches.

Hope you feel better real soon.

love and peace

You may need some physical therapy, massage or acupuncture. I have the same thing and it is quite painful and annoying. I also have fibromyalgia.
