Question 1

i have scoliosis 37degree curve. i have horrible pain on right side ofneck radiating down to shoulder. i have constant muscle spasms but none this bad?

Accepted Answer

Symptomatic scoliosi: I'm sorry you're having this much pain at such a young age. At 23 degrees surgery is unlikely, but establishing a relationship with a spine surgeon with a calling for scoliosis is advised. This can be a hard condition to treat, but nsaids, short course of antispasmodics, chiro, pt, omt/omm, trigger point inj, tens unit, other conservative measures & a positive attitude can elp.

Question 2

can anxiety cause shoulder and  neck muscle spasm on one side with dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: The link between anxiety and a specific spasm or physical symptom is indirect. Anxiety initiates the fight/flight response in humans. In actual threat it is life-saving. In emotional threat, it pumps the same chemicals through us and our bodies respond in unique (maybe common) ways. Maybe, thrown off balance, you get dizzy. Not running, your most vulnerable muscles read the signal and tighten. CBT

Question 3

my stomach feels bloated and i sometimes have a dull pain towards the right side of the middle of my stomach, alternating each occasion between front and back, with periodic muscle spasms at my triceps/shoulder. what could be the cause of this?

Accepted Answer

: This is an occasion where it is strongly recommended to have a clinician examine your abdomen. Sometimes true right upper quadrant problems can irritate the diaphragm just above it, which can refer discomfort to the shoulder. They may order an ultrasound if appropriate. Write down the foods you eat, the time you eat them, and when symptoms occur. Do this for 1-2 days. Your provider can review this

Question 4

bad muscle spasms/twitching up my right side & diagonally to belly button. i'm also having pain under my right shoulder blade. what's causing this?

Accepted Answer

Ask PCP Dr. for : answer. Can be related to gastrointestinal signs that need to be explored. Referred pain to the right shoulder is a classic sign, and may point to an inflamed gallbladder. Or it may just be coincidental, and something else. That needs to be determined in person, from an abdominal exam done by your doctor, and checked. If eating fatty foods makes it worse, let your doctor know!

Question 5

if you sleep wrong & twinge the muscle in your shoulder blade/lower neck area, can the pain radiate down your arm? and also cause muscle spasms on that side of your body near your breast area? how long can a twinged muscle hurt for?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Regular aerobic exercise that raises your core body temperature to cause sweating will improve you muscle strength and flexibility and prevent such occurrences.
Wish you good health!

Question 6

why do we get muscle spasms in the shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Response to injury: A muscle spasm is often a response to injury to the muscle itself or the nearby bony or soft tissue structures.  Spasms are common in the posterior (back) of the shoulder, and usually involve the rhomboids, levator and/or trapezius muscles. Acute or repetitive strain can be the cause, or an injury or condition involving the lower cervical/upper thoracic spine can cause the nearby muscles to spasm.

Question 7

i dislocated my shoulder yesterday and it was put back in place but i'm having muscle spasms all day. is this normal?

Post injury one will experience varying amounts of spasm and pain for 2-3 weeks.Younger patients ( under age of 21 ) have much higher chances of additional dislocations.
