Calcium Deposit And Healing Fracture In The Shoulder. Taking Cortisone Injection. Pain In The Upper Chest And Under The Arm. Why?

IN THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE HAD A CORTISONE INJECTION IN MY RIGHT ELBOW AND SHOULDER. ONE WAS FOR A HEALING FRACTURE OF THE OCERALON ? BONE IN THE ELBOW. AND ONE FOR A CALCIUM DEPOSIT IN THE SHOULDER. I AM NOW GETTING PAIN IN THE UPPER PART OF MY CHEST AND UNDER THE ARM, HAVING AT TIMES A SHARP SHOOTING PAIN INTO AND FROM THE ELBOW TO THE WRIST. THANKS. PAUL.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that you are having now is not likely to be related to the injections you had earlier. This is more likely to be a nerve related pain. You can take mild pain killer and methylcobalamin supplements and see if it helps.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
