Has any one had or has tendinitis or frozen shoulder with pain going down the arm into the hand?

Answer 1

Pain from a frozen shoulder not- infrequently does radiate commonly to the elbow and sometimes right down to the hand. It is important to get the diagnosis confirmed as there are other possible causes of these symptoms.

2 best treatments are local steroid injection, this is 70% successfully or physio, which is excellent but slow.

Answer 2

While this certainly can happen, it must be differentiated from a pinched nerve in the neck. The differentiating factors in these cases is that frozen shoulder will demonstrate a physical restriction in shoulder movement and pain is not affected by movements of the neck. In tendonitis, there may be weakness and pain upon movement of the shoulder, but the movement is not physically RESTRICTED...its just painful. Again, movements of the neck do not affect the symptoms. In cases of a pinched nerve, shoulder motion is not restricted at all. There might be weakness and loss of sensation, and movements of the neck WILL affect the symptoms...especially slouching (will typically make it worse).

All three of these syndromes can be addressed with physical therapy and the physical therapist is an excellent professional to differentiate between these conditions.

Answer 6

I get tendonitis from time to time. Usuallly when I have pain that radiates down the arm from my shoulder, it's due to a pinched nerve. I would never to the doctor for something like this as doctors only treat the symptoms, not the cause. I go to my chiropractor for this type of pain. It may take a couple adjustments for me, but it works.

Answer 7

If you haven't been to the doc, go. I thought that was my problem a few years back but it was actually caused by spinal problems in cervical disks 5, 6, and 7.

Yes. Should there be more to the question? Anti-inflammatory meds' help some but not a whole lot.
