Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My right shoulder goes numb and tingles off and on throughout the day. It comes and goes and happens frequently. I talked with my dr but she s not sure of the cause. What could be the causes of this, and could it be anything I should be concerned about?
As you have numbness and tingling it you need a thorough neuromuscular assessment.
As these symptoms will be a cause of pinched nerve in the cervical spine which is a classical symptom. Performing a clinical examination and later If needed an MRI of cervical spine could help us the soft tissue status.
Post which with simple medication and physical therapy you should be fine. Later stages, exercises will be taught and can be performed at home or under the supervision of the therapist.
In my clinical practice I see cases with such symptoms and is most of the time pinched nerve and they respond well to physical therapy.
