shoulder pain

A couple days ago I woke up and my arm/shoulder was sore. I thought maybe I slept on it wrong. Went to the Dr and she thinks I pulled a muscle. The pain is worst and I can not use my right arm at all because the pain is so unbearable. I am waiting for an appointment to get an xray, my question is if it is at all possible that this is related to MS?

Yes, it's possible but it could also be something different. Might as well see what the doctor says before getting too worried. :) Hope it turns out to be a pulled muscle or something minor. :)

Hi

Hope is a pulled muscle, because in 2002 I had a flare on my shoulder, it lasted 3 1/2 years of horrible pain, could not use my arm, Drs wanted to do surgery on my tendons, I wasn't dx back then, I refused surgery because my daughter was too young. Thank God I did because one day, some prednisone and puff, it went away, now it comes back occasionally to remind me how lucky I am.

Hope you feel better soon.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
