Default Additional symptoms explanation with picture



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

So,since i cant get reliable answer why i have chronic pain i will give it a try with your help and opinions.
After 3 years i still dont know whats my source of pain Sad
So picture explanation:
RED - dull ache that makes me scream. It's realy constant dull deep pain.
YELLOW - this is hard to explain but i will try Confused i dont know if this inside is muscle,nerve,ligament but i hate it.
When i move my left shoulder little bit front,i have feeling like something inside (in this yellow part) will fall apart. Like some stretch or something else i realy dont know what...???
BLUE - this area is so tight and painfull i fell my WHOLE left shoulder blade is SICK. On the right side it's allmost nothing. i have pain there ones per 2 month. So left - right 90% - 10%
Alot of muscle trigger points on the left side,that i think never will go away.
Sometime i get strange feeling that my left arm is "dead" and when i hold something with left arm my left SHOULDER BLADE get's dead. i canot hold,i dont have strenth there at all.
Sorry for long post,but with this maybe i can have some additional help from others.
Thank you alot. Damir

Damir,

The red pain is what I called my interscapular pain that began with my 1997 accident and remained until my cervical ADR surgery 12 years later. That has been expressed to me as a very typical symptom of a whiplash type of cervical injury.

The yellow pain makes me wonder about a potential problem local to the shoulder instead of the spine??? If it is mechanical and reproducable based on arm movement (or perhaps neck movement???), it sounds like a structural issue?

I'm going to ask around about this.

Mark

Damir , Nice to know your name. If your left arm goes numb and weak (that happened to me) have you had your cervical spine checked out? That was my problem at the time. I had severe problems on my MRI (i don't remember exactly what) but i had surgery on C4-7 and my arm symptoms left and my strength returned.
Then the thoracic symptoms started about a year later.

Is this what they are telling you in Germany? That they cannot find it either? Or has the search just begun there?
virtual mum is worried
