Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m from Canada. I have been having a lot of pain in my left arm and shoulder. I have seen a chiropractor and massage. Neither has seemed to help much. Just wondering where I can get a cortisone injection? How much? And if I need to see a doctor first? I am in Maricopa Arizona.
Hi Since you did not mention your age , so very difficult to say any thing about the cause of pain in the shoulder joint and also in left hand. This type of pain may be due to these possibilities , these include: 1 Arthritis . 2 Sprain or stress ( bursitis ) 3 Heart pain. This case may be investigated properly so consult a primary care physician and get his opinion. Hope this information will be useful for you. Further , if any question I will happily reply. Good luck.
