Twitching and Numbness in the Shoulder and Arm Posted: 03-07-06 11:44am
years ago i was playing pull toy with my
rot and heard what i thought was
a ripe in my shoulder-through the years
have not done anything about it-i am now
after 20 yrs later experiencing twitching,
numbness in my shoulder and arm.
i think this is a torn muscle or rotary
cup-will a sports doctor be able to see
if this is my issue?
I recommend you see your GP-doctor. An
X-ray image of the cervical vertebral
column can help exclude cervical
spondylosis which may be causing the
twitching and numbness in your shoulder.
An X-ray of shoulder joint will also
confirm or exclude arthritis or arthritic
degenerative changes in the joint.
