What Causes Severe Pain In The Shoulders?
I am having excruciating pain in my shoulders which is worse at night but bad all day. Both shoulders. I have an appt. with an orthopedic (shoulder specialist) tomorrow. Is this the best person to see? my regular doctor tested me for RA. Both tests negative.
