Shoulder numbness and pain

Shoulder pain may be caused by muscle stiffness, which can be relieved by heat therapy. Massage is very effective for muscle stiffness, but be careful not to develop cervical spondylosis. You need to be especially careful with cervical spondylosis, and doing some cervical exercises is particularly helpful for this disease. Pay more attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Frozen shoulder is particularly unbearable, so it needs to be treated with special care. Don't worry too much and maintain a good attitude so that you can recover soon.

Possible causes are:

1. The possibility of cervical spondylosis should be excluded first:

In cervical spondylosis, due to nerve root compression, numbness in the shoulders and arms may occur.

2. Shoulder muscle spasm:

Due to long-term bending over a desk or operating a computer, the head, neck, shoulders and arms maintain a certain posture for a long time, which makes the muscles and joints always in a state of tension, which can easily cause shoulder pain and numbness symptoms, and due to the change in the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine, it can easily cause cervical spondylosis.

Treatment:

1. Cervical spondylosis can be treated with traction, massage and massage.

2. Treatment of shoulder muscle spasm

1. Local hot compress: Using a towel for hot compress can promote blood circulation and relieve muscle spasms.

It should be classified as radiculopathy of cervical spondylosis. The main clinical manifestations are neck and shoulder pain and finger numbness. The main cause is probably the dislocation of the cervical facet joints compressing the nerve roots, thus causing the above symptoms.

It is recommended to try traction, physical therapy, and infrared massage for cervical spine treatment. Be sure to avoid maintaining a single posture for long periods of time while working or studying, especially when looking down at your head. Take a break for about 10 minutes every hour or so.

It may be frozen shoulder, which can generally be treated with drugs such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium (Voltaren), diclofenac, Intaqing, Difen, Imei Li, Mobic, and Nabumetone. Some patients can receive local injections of hydrocortisone acetate or triamcinolone acetate, Diprosone, and Rimetazon, but most believe that it should not be used more than 3-4 times a year, let alone continuously. During treatment, functional exercise methods should be actively adopted on the basis of analgesia to restore shoulder joint function to the maximum extent. Functional exercises should be frequent and appropriate to maximize the activity of the shoulder joint. In addition, you can consider acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, cupping, etc. For late-stage cases with firm adhesions that seriously affect the patient's quality of life, micro-acupuncture lysis can be used for treatment.
