Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain And Lower Arm Numbness
hello - 41 yr old female. 5'7" 150 lbs. For the past 6 mos, been having severe shoulder pain when moved in certain positions. Not all the time. If trying to reach behind me, or raise arm - get pain, but then subsides. Most recently have had lower arm numbness and not constant, but very consistent thumb twitching for about 2 weeks. Can they be related? What type of doctor should I see?
