YES! For the last year, I had arm and shoulder pain. I finally went to an orthopedic doctor and to a physical therapist. In most cases, this usually helps and sometimes cures that problem. However, in my case, it turned out to be far more complicated than that. I had taken bad falls twice before this problem arose. I had no relief of pain and ended up having epidural steroid shots in my neck; then further testing revealed a herniated disc. The FDA has approved surgery to implant artificial discs in the cervical spine (neck). I am recovering from that surgery and hope to be pleased with the results.
Good luck to you in deliverance from your pain!
