Have had issues emanating from my shoulder for some time. MRIs haven't shown anything specific. Last October when my neck was fused, it was thought that might help, but didn't. No trauma, but appears now that a nerve is definitely being pinched inside the shoulder. I can tilt my head just ever so slightly back and a severe pinching pain occurs in the shoulder blade like a knife stabbing me, which is immediately followed by pain and numbness shooting down the whole arm, which also has the constant numbness and weakness. Have been trying to get my knees fixed so I could walk, which was more important, and then have exploratory surgery to figure this out. Looks like January or February I will have my shoulder opened up. The numbness and weakness is pretty annoying and hasn't subsided since it became permanent.
