It could be frozen shoulder, severe muscle spasms, spasmodic torticolis , dystonia.... I'll post a few info links shortly - you probably can't type too well to do searches yourself...

If you can , post a bit more about your symptoms..

There's' probably more that I can't think of right now - hopefully others will be along soon with ideas.

I did a quick look at your earlier posts and I wondered if you have read anything about thoracic outlet syndrome?
I know how your injury happened , but when the neck & elbows , shoulders & hand are mentioned - I usually want to mention TOS just in case.

Sometimes RSD and TOS pain & symptoms can mimic /overlap each other, or you possibly could have both conditions.

It would be good to be sure as the treatments do vary a bit.

here's the useful sticky with TOS info if you like to read about it.

Have you thought about a chiropractic evaluation or been checked for any spinal problems?
C spine problems can affect neck/shoulder/arms also

Jo*mar..great work and info.. I would also like to add..place a call into your dr. even if he is not exactly what you desire or will be keeping...or go the emergency room..they may help temporarily help you control the pain and help for a fast rule out diagnosis...

I am so sorry you are not feeling well at all..Please keep us updated...

Hugz for luck..Kathy

i will call dr.. it just seems to b getting worse. all ido is cry it hurts so bad. muscle rwlaxers arent helping either.. kind of scared. never happened before. thinking er.. will keep u updated..

Barbara,

So sorry for your pain. A cervical disc issue will also cause this. Please check with your/an ortho on this. It isn't always CRPS/RSD by default.....
