Diagnosis needed: It is impossible for one to predict how long you will have pain without knowing your diagnosis. Does your doctor believe the source of the pain is a shoulder issue?

Paraplegic pain: I am a C3 quad and I can empathize. I think you should follow up with the doctor who ordered the x-ray as he probably has a treatment plan; if not, then referral to a Board-certified pain speciiaist is indicated. if you have A high cord level, it could be do to some re-inervation.
