What Causes Persistent Shoulder And Elbow Pain?

I ve had shoulder problems for about 5 years. My doctor is dr. Hughs. I went to a rehab doctor in Albany Oregon a couple years ago but it still bothers me. I spent the last year going to a chiropractor it always comes back. My should is very difficult to sleep on. My elbow feels real mushy. I need to make an appointment to get this thing checked out.

Hello,

You may need to visit a rheumatologist and do an X-ray or MRI of the shoulder. It can be bursitis which is causing the pain. Take antiinflammatory drugs such Advil or naproxen for pain.

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

Regards,
