Question: About three months ago started feeling slight tingling in my fingertips, rt arm. About a month later, had a couple of espisodes of bursa swelling rt arm. Saw dr, given antibiotics, 1 week, saw another specialist, 3 weeks later. Both swellings I was able to burst with pressure on a soft surface. Specialist saw no evidence of infection. Other than very slight irritation of the right elbow from left over ?"sac" material on the right elbow, no issues.
I have had "gravel" in my neck for the last 4 years. With rotating and twisting my neck it goes away. In the last month, the "gravel" has also shifted to my upper spine in between my shoulder blades.
Again, I can generally alleviate this with twisting and stretching.
Just seems that the occurences are happening more often.
Probably a lack of good exercise but just wanted an opinion. Just in case this a symptom of something more severe.
FYI, I have severe white coat syndrome on blood pressure, so I take it at home.
Over the last few weeks, instead of my normal mid 120's over high 70's low 80's, it has increased to
mid 130's over low 90's.
I know I need to see a PCP, but have not had a physical in 5 years.
Just looking for info I might tell him. Plan to make an appt quick as I am able (due to work conditions)
Thank you for any input. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
