Hi, my name is Jeanna. Last year my left shoulder started hurting to the point I could raise it. I had to get a muscle relaxer, pain pills, and another med I can t remember. It never completely stop hurting, but it no long felt like I being stabbed in the back of my shoulder. Now..the pain has returned. I have problems lifting my left arm with out pain. Sometimes if it relaxes as I sit, and then once I move its like a knife cut into me. And, its worse when I lay down for bed. I can t lay on it and if I turn to the right I have to put a pillow complete under the arm to keep in balanced. If it falls forward it s unbearable, if falls backwards the same results. If I cup my left shoulder it hurts to. Now I lay on my back but that causes me other unrelated problems. Please advise. What can I do to stop this pain. I m tired of taking asprin. Getting only 3 and 4 hours of sleep a night. I find myself crying all the time because of the pain.
