Severe stabbing pain in left arm/shoulder when i drive, open or close door with left hand or put left arm in sleeve. xray negative for bone spurs, arthritis, etc possibly precipitated by injections?

I dont: Think so, injections may have helped earlier, but the osteophyte bone may be carving into your rotator cuff ligaments.

Well, that depends o: You need to see a good ortho or physical rehab doc, and get a diagnosis. It's hard to tell you what is wrong without doing a careful physical exam. That's why we learn how to do these exams and learn the orthopedic tests that we perform on patients to make a diagnosis. Muscle trigger point injections usually do not cause lasting pain, but an injection into the joint might. This could be a rotator.
