What Causes Pain From The Right Shoulder To The Wrist?
I have pain that runs from the top of my right shoulder down midway between elbow and wrist. Very painful at times, have had it for quite some time now. Sometimes I think it has something to do with when I worked at a rock quarry cutting slabs with my right hand. But that was years ago.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Your symptoms are suggestive of cervical neuropathy. It occurs due to nerve compression at the cervical spine. Causes include osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, disc protrusion etc. Xray and MRI cervical spine are recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
Please be advised to follow up with your primary provider to undergo the necessary evaluation.
Meanwhile, take Advil for pain relief.

Dr.Lekshmi
