I have read that it can happen this way, a kind of whiplash effect perhaps, not quite sure. In the beginning I thought the pain was from my rotator cuff but the MRI didn't show any tear. When these other symptoms became noticeable I did research and SAN was what I found. I see my orthopedic surgeon on the 30th and I am going to ask what he thinks and have him send me for an EMG.
Thanks for letting me chime in, there is NO place else to talk about this.
