Frightening new symptoms
Lately the back of my shoulders have been tight and tender, Year ago surgery on the right, left handed and over use on the left, (on computer all day). I also had a pulmonary embolism on the left lung a year ago that brings flare up pain in that upper back to shoulder area. (I'm pretty srewed). Anyway, last Saturday morning I began to get the lung pain as I was about to lead a hike with my outdoor group. It passed and I trudged on. Sunday was okay, until the evening when the back of my left leg and mostly into the calve became very painful. Deep. Then both arms from the shoulders became numb (burning) like I was in a microwave. My feet were extra numb. Almost considered the ER but opted for a half of tramodol and half a tylonal and placed my soft ice pack on the neck and arms. It passed shortly after that and I slept well. Yesterday I had the first massage in a year. She did alot of work on the tight shoulders. (It was great) last night as I started to drift off on the couch the numb arms returned strong. I got up moved around took half a tylonal and it went away. I return to the neurologist for another nerve conduction test in a few weeks. SHOULD I ASK HIM TO DO ONE ON MY ARMS TOO?
