Question 1

can pms cause upper back and shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Not commonly, but: Women vary from each other and over time in PMS symptoms and from none, through mild, to very severe levels. Those are NOT directly common, but not impossible. Here's good PMS info: http://www.womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/premenstrual-syndrome.html#c
Your issue could be very separate but you may be more sensitive at that time to the pain. Best!

Question 2

left sided neck and shoulder pain, middle-lower back pain, dizziness, tingling and tiredness. what are these symptoms of?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Left sided neck and shoulder pain could be from a cervical disk herniation or neck strain.  Many things can cause the other symptoms.  It would be best to see a medical specialist for a full exam.  Good luck.

Question 3

lower back pain/ feel like somebody kicked me in the back on the right side. body hot without fever /lightheaded/neropathy/headaches/and neck and shoulder pain. what could this be a sign of?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: The location of your pain could signify a kidney infection. You would need to be evaluated by your physician to be certain.

Question 4

is it possible for someone with vasculitis to have an increase of monocytes? if so, what types of diseases would be the cause? symptoms: fever, fatigue, severe back neck and shoulder pain, responds to high dose prednisone, decrease appetite. negative bone

Accepted Answer

Yes, : Yes, elevated monocytes can be elevated in some types of vasculitis.  Monocytes can also be elevated in chronic infections.  I am glad that you have had a negative bone marrow study.  High sedimentation rate can go along with inflammatory or infectious causes.  It sounds like your hematologist is performing a thorough workup.

Question 5

how conclusive is a 4 generation duo combo lab test at 4 months and 7 days after exposure? had a lot of symptoms and still having symptoms. sore throat for 3 months and white tongue/oral thrush for 1 month. uti and neck and shoulder pain, weight loss?

Accepted Answer

You don't have HIV: The HIV AgAB (4th generation) blood tests are 100% conclusive 6 weeks or more after the last possible exposure -- no exceptions. And you can't have HIV symptoms with a negative AgAb test; the results prove you don't have HIV and something else is causing all symptoms. White tongue isn't the same as oral thrush -- but even if you have that, your problems for sure are not due to HIV.

Question 6

i switched from equal to truvia and started having neck/shoulder pain. googled "truvia side effects" and many people have same symptoms. connection?

Accepted Answer

Do not know: I really do not know but the easiest way to find out is to stop the truvia and see if the symptoms go away. If they do and you start eating the truvia again and the symptoms come back, this will answer the question for you.

Question 7

i went to a physiotherapist 5 days ago for shoulder pain and without permission he cracked my neck. am i still at risk for stroke? no major symptoms.

Accepted Answer

PT: The risk associated with such manipulations is very small . You should be fine and avoid it in future  if you do not feel comfortable with it.

Question 8

shoulder pain-popping, with arm/hand pain numbness. done pt, tens, and cervical epidurals. mri of neck ok emg showed abnormalities but symptoms worse?

Accepted Answer

EMG should show : If you had a normal cervical spine MRI it is no surprise that epidurals were ineffective. The EMG you said is abnormal - it should suggest the nerves affected and allow your pain management physician to develop a diagnosis and treatment options. If your doctor can not seem to help, consider  obtaining another medical opinion.

Question 9

what is underarm ache, breast and shoulder pain symptoms of?

Accepted Answer

See below: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 10

how can i  ease intense neck and shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Try simple things: I would try tylenol (acetaminophen) and anti-inflammatory medications (eg ibuprofen, aleve, etc) as well as modalities (e.g. Ice and heat). I would try heat first. It might be postural, especially if you sit at a computer/desk all day. Try paying attention to your posture. If it does not improve in 1-2 weeks, see your doctor.
