Good morning @johnbishop, and @antiquetx. I just opened Connect and saw your post about arm pain. I dealt with similar symptoms for several years, thinking it was from the surgeries I had on both shoulders. Boy, was I wrong! One day, my surgeon noticed me rubbing my arms and asked about the situation. I told him the story and he grabbed me by the hand and said, "We are going to X-ray". On the way down the hall.....he said, "Chris, this is your neck". And it was. He contacted his colleague, the neck surgeon, and they decided to move quickly. The shoulder surgery was canceled and the cervical spine surgery was scheduled immediately.

What a relief. The arm pain just disappeared. Of course, I had to wear a neck brace for 3 months to make sure the fusions healed correctly. I only threw it across the room once and I wore it night and day.

This is just an idea to evaluate.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

Hi John,
My arm pain is like I have done a heavy workout and have the resulting extreme pain... more like a sharp soreness when I try to move. Lifting anything without supporting the lifting arm is painful and the arm goes weak (I drop things). If I keep the arms at rest, they then go to an
ache. Hard to explain. This condition started about 1-½ years ago all of a sudden.. I have had several pain killers prescribed which help at first - then become ineffective, I have also had
partial replacements on both shoulders. I have osteoarthritis which has predicated the replacement of both hips and a right knee, Hope this is enough information for you to
shed some light on my condition.
