I don't know how old you are Sweety, nor doe's it matter as it sounds like Arthritis to me, which I have and it can attack at any
young age. And the weather is very prominent during the process
of this decease, you'll find that it mostly attacks your joints in cold
weather as we're having right now. Arthritis is inflammation of you're joint/joints which can come on very quickly and is associated with pain, heat, swelling, and/or redness. See R Dr.
I'm very sorry it happens to the best of us. I know it's a shock to It's alot to absorb all in one day so if you'd like to talk about it as I
have had it many yrs. diana2172003@yahoo.ca

I don't know how old you are but I will tell you a possibility. I have Fibromyalgia. It is a syndrome that causes pain throughout your body. It seems to be related to weather and sometimes seems to come and go. I have had mine for over 10 years and unfortunately I have mine all the time now. My shoulders hurt so badly that I have a hard time keeping asleep at night and if I reach for something wrong, I am in terrible pain. I see a Rheumatologist who has given me Cortisone shots in my shoulders and it helps for awhile but he has stopped doing it as you can only do that for so long. I take quite a few pain pills. I recommend you make an appt. with a family doctor to request an appt. with a Rheumatologist, who will check you out for Fibromyalgia along with Arthritis and other things that could be causing your pain. He could also determine if it is a pinched nerve.
Good Luck. There is nothing worse than being in constant pain.

It could be arthritis. Were all your joints throbbing? I know that at times, some perimenopausal women suffer from joint pain. If it doesn't let up, you need to see a doctor.

Sounds like Arthritis,try ALEVE you dont need a prescription.If that does not work then it could be GOUT and you will need a prescription to obtain Colchicine,or a stronger Aleve which is called Naprosyn.

here's what you can do. go to a massage spa and tell them about your shoulder. there is a couples of muscle that need to work on like: (SITS) muscle means your rotator cuff muscle, the Supraspanatus muscle, the Infraspinatus muscle, the Teres Minor, and Subscapularis mucsle. this are the muscle deep muscle are pinching your nerve. you need to losen up your muscle and also your rhomboid muscle and trapizius muscle is connected to your neck.

Is this a new condition? There are tons of underlying causes. If it is a new condition, I would examine your diet and drug intake. Is there anything new? Allergies do to food and prescription and otc remedies can cause these types of pain. However, if this is not a new condition, it sounds like osteoarthritis.
