Does Type 2 Diabetes Cause Severe Shoulder Pain?
I have severe shoulder pain can not lift my arms above my chest, I have diabetes type 2 all the doctors that I have seen keep telling me that it is related to that.
I have a pain management doctor and he will not do or change medication. I need a doctor that knows this type of pain.
