What Causes Pain In The Shoulder And Arm Despite A Normal Blood Report?

my knee went out six months ago. hospital said it is old age. (Im 66). Next my shoulder went out 2 months ago. Hospital said it it calcium build up. A specialist said it was the rotaty cuff. It got better on medicine in a few days. Then my foot went out two weeks ago. My ankle felt like I broke it. Tests show no problem. Took Diclofenac Sodium Topical cream and ankle and foot felt better within a week. now my shoulder is hurting again. Can t raise arm all the way and just a throbbing.( just like all the other symptoms I go to bed fine and wake up with a problem. It is one thing after the other. One thing gets better and then the pain travels to another section of my body. The blood test came back fine including Lymes disease. Any ideas?

Hi,

It could be a musculoskeletal pain.

As a first line management, analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol can be taken for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
