What Causes Pain , Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Shoulder?

I am 38 year old male and I have constant pain in my right shoulder. It is made worse by activity and reaching overhead or behind my back. I separated my shoulder 22 years ago this was a level 1 separation. Only had injections and therapy for the injury. I also have constant numbness and tingling in my right hand. Mostly in all my fingers. My hands do ache at times, mostly in the morning and the evening.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion you may be suffering for rotator cuff tear and nerve compression neuropathy of the hand. I would recommend you an NCV and EMG of the upper limb and an MRI of the shoulder to see what is the condition of your nerves and your shoulder internal structures, only after we have these results can we proceed further.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
