What Causes Severe Pain In Shoulders?
Am in excrutiating pain in my shoulders with very limited arm movements, also my hip joints and am finding it very difficult to walk. The x-rays of my shoulders were normal in the E.R. Have a history of breast cancer..........The doctor suggests a pet scan of my whole body but if the x rays were normal, do I need this and how do I deal with excruiating pain....I have tried anti inflammatory drugs and lots of advil but nothing works. Nights are proving horrible as I am woken up my pain in my shoulders and legs most of the night.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of pain in the shoulder can be related to muscle pain.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest using magnesium supplements.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
