Horner's syndrome: Needs explanation. It can be caused by a lung cancer which has also involved the nerves to your arm (if the affected eye is on the same side as your arm pain). Please see a neurologist very soon.

Question 3

it is 3 months post accident and my head, neck and back injuries are still almost as bad as right after accident and now i am having shoulder and arm pain as well, what should i tell my doctors to get the best treatment? my back has not been treated at al

Accepted Answer

MRI: Assuming that you have had mri. If you haven't you should consider pushing for one. If it was normal, nerves may have been stretched. If that was the case it may take 3-6 months to get better.

Question 4

27yo female, 7mm suspected bone island on anterior humeral head with shoulder/upper arm pain. not on xrays 2 yrs ago. likely followup tests/treatment?

Accepted Answer

Tested?: a bone scan can be done to make sure it is a benign bone island and not something more worrisome. If it turns out to be a normal scan, then recheck of the X-ray in 6 - 12 months is the usual follow up to ensure the benign nature of the lesion has been correctly diagnosed. More tests to find out why your shoulder hurts may be indicated..... Like a shoulder MRI Arthrogram. See your orthopedist.
