A couple years ago I fell going down some
steps and did not let go of the handrail.
I went to the ER and x-ray show nothing.
Pain was coming from lower portion of
scapula. They sent me to physical therapy
for several weeks. It did not help as I
was still having pain. I have lupus and
Inclusion Body Myositis. When seeing my
Rheumatologist the next time, I mentioned
problem with shoulder, he sent me to an
Orthopaedist who sent me for PT, again did
not help. I took it upon myself to try
accupuncture, did not help, chiropractor,
did not help, massage therapy, did not
help.
I went back to the Ortho, a few weeks ago
and explained that the pain had been
ongoing for a couple years. She sent me
to have MRI - it showed nothing. She has
put me on Ultram ER 200 mg daily, it helps
some, but I still have some pain.
The only time pain goes away is when I sit
down with ice pack, but I have to much to
do to sit around all day with ice pack.
The pain is in my lower right scapula and
goes around rib cage to under arm. It is
a burning pain. HELP
