Does Constant Right Shoulder Pain With Numbness Of Right Hand Indicate Tendinitis?

Hello, I have had pain in my shoulder for about a month. Pain is not lessening, feels like it could be tendinitis. Is that possible in my shoulder? It s not the skin or bones that hurts, no bumps or redness. I don t play sports, but I work at a computer all day. My hand on the same arm goes numb and tingly sometimes too, usually while sleeping at night. Right shoulder/ hand. Carpal tunnel or tendinitis or something like that a possibility?

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

I do understand your pain and discomfort.

As per your history I may say in carpal tunnel syndrome you may experience tingling and numbness in your fingers or hands, especially your thumb and index, middle or ring fingers, but not your little fingers.

In shoulder tendinitis pain will be when affected joints are moved, you can get tenderness and swelling as well. Treatment for it at present is rest, IC, Elevationn, compressio, painkillerss like ibuprofen, steroid injection inside joints etc

Finally, one more option which we can be considered as Frozen shoulder which is at early stage the main symptom is freezing shoulder joints, if you move it will be painful.

So nothing to be worried at all and all are 100% curable, so get a physical examination tomorrow by your local doctor and by physical examination it will be cleared which condition you have. Do one CBC with differential before physical exam.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks
