burning in both shoulders and upper arms....at worst after waking up in the morning.

Question

I have intense back pain with burning sensation my shoulder and neck has been hurting to with pain here and there in both arms what is wrong?

Answer 1

Musculoskeletal Pain: It is probably musculoskeleal pain may be related to how you sleep.But we don't have enough information as to how long this is going on and what happens to the pain during the day.You age and any other smptoms associated with it.You can try over the counter pain meds and if it persists consult your doctor

Answer 2

AM burning: These symptoms are seen in polymyalgia rheumatica A rheumatologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you if your symptoms persist. Appropriate tests will be done in order to make a diagnosis. In the meantime you could try taking a course of anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Aleve for several days to see if symptoms resolve.

Answer 3

Xray: Unfortunately, you can't tell for sure without an xray. See your doctor.

Answer 4

Pain, function loss: An xray will confirm a fracture, but if you have had a significant trauma and you have pain specific to a certain area, with a visible and/or palpable deformity, tenderness to palpation and an inability to perform regular joint motion, then you very well may have a fracture. Go see an orthopaedist and find out for sure!

Answer 5

Pain: Pain, swelling, in ability to move, deformity can all be a sign of fracture; most fractures can be seen on X-ray, although not all.

Answer 6

X-ray: An x-ray and medical evaluation will help to distinguish a fracture from sprains, strains, soft tissue injuries, etc. Take care.

Answer 7

Many things: A bump must be seen and examined in person to be able to give a better idea what it is or isn't. If it's worse, changes, or not improved in the next few weeks, go ahead to a doctur.

Answer 8

MD exam to confirm: Odds are the large lump on your arm is a benign soft tissue mass such as a fatty tumor or muscle hernia. Nonetheless, you owe it to yourself to seek a thorough evaluation by your physician. Besides x-rays to evaluate the surrounding bony structures, an MRI detailing the makeup of the mass may also be indicated.

Answer 9

No: Plates and screws, and rods, and wires will all eventually break if bones don't heal regardless of what metal they are made of. Just like a wire coat hanger will break if you bend it back and forth enough times. Without bone healing the metal fatigues and fails if it gets enough cycles on it. If the bone is healed the chances of fatigue failure are basically zero.

Answer 10

No any plate can brk: Any plate used in orthopaedic surgery can theoretically break if adequate forces are applied via a twisting or axial loading injury.

Answer 11

Yes: Yes, particularly if you have a nonunion in your fracture.

Answer 12

See your doctor: This kind of thing can be due to many different causes. I'm afraid if you want a diagnosis you will have to see your doctor.

Answer 13

See a Dermatologist: What you describe sounds like a benign but rare skin condition called lichen nitidus. Usually affects children and young adults. Best thing to do is see a dermatologist who can tell you what you have and provide treatment if needed.

Answer 14

Calm down: If you are using ice, great! elevate the extremity above the level of the heart. This will help with swelling. He you are not having difficulty with breathing (wheezing or trouble getting breath) are not feel as though you are going to pass out, not having hives or other major symptoms and not known to be allergic to stings, then relax. Take some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and observe. Otherwise see md or 911.

Answer 15

Hornet sting tips: Wash area w soap ; warm water. Apply ice in 10 min. Increments (10 on/10 off). Can try tylenol, (acetaminophen) Aspirin or Motrin for pain or Benadryl for swelling. Elevate affected area for swelling. Make paste of 2 parts baking soda ; 1 part water ; apply. Need tetanus shot every 10 years. Throat, airway, mouth swelling or difficulty breathing? Call 911!
