Can Disc Problem Be Cause The Burning Sensation In Upper Arm?
I have burning in my upper right arm and across my shoulder blade. I hyper-extented my shoulder and the doctor said when it snapped back into place it caught a nerve. Another doctor said I had rotator cuff injury. I do not take any meds for pain now but it is bother some at times. I was told by a PT that it would heal with rest and time. I also have disc problems that were diagnosed 6 years ago that affected by left leg. Could all of this be connected? What can I do?
