Shoulder, Clavical area | Arthritis Information

Who here is in this club. Last few days that area is really swollen. Right up into my neck, mostlt the left side. You don't realize how much you use this area till it hurts.Ouch! sorry you feel so miserable and hope you soon find a measure of relief. 6t5,

 
I don't have that flare right now but have in the past. The shoulders are in the top three list for me fo discomfort along with hips and jaw. With the shoulders and hips, it is impossible to even sleep, since any position puts pressure on the hips and shoulders. The jaw is just truly so extremely painful and makes it almost impossible to eat, breath, sneeze, swallow etc and etcs. Hope it passes soon. Isn't it strange that different flares affect different areas. What a strange disease we have.

Hope it passes quickly.  Sorry you're hurting  Sorry you are having so much trouble with your shoulder. So many activities cause you to move them and when they hurt it's like torture. When my shoulders ache I like to let the hot shower pound on them. Hope you feel better soon. [QUOTE=levlarry].

I feel ya    Yes i am a club member. i do not remember signing up.
 
    I have mostly as of late been plagued with burning muscles in my upper back between my shoulders. The upper most part of my back just below the neck. I always get alot of swelling there. More than i do in my joints. It is crazy. nine years ago the spine specialist sent me to the rhuemy because of it. Some kind of arthritis it was said to be very bad that showed up on the MRI. My RD said yes i can see that but it is not a joint it is the muscles. So i guess you can get it anywhere.
 
Lev and Shug sorry to hear about your jaw. I always think of katieG when her jaw was swollen. Mine does not get as bad as hers was so i am always thankful for that. My jaw cracked so bad last week i thought i had broken it. Seems to be fine now.

Now thats some funny $^%$@ right there
My left one is killing me too, goes from my shoulder right up into my neck! Back on prednisone as of yesterday. ugh.So far my shoulder pain has stayed in the ball joint and not gone into the clavicle area.  The good thing is, reaching backward is the most excruciating movement.  That's good because it doesn't hurt when I swing a golf club.  The bad thing is as mentioned by others - it makes it so difficult to sleep.  The only position that doesn't hurt the shoulders is lying flat on my back, and I have never been able to sleep that way.  Doubled up on my pain med and slept great the other night for a change, but the next day paid for it with nausea.  I have had this. It really hurts! So sorry! Quick recovery!!!
