FOUR
COMMON CAUSES OF RADIATING
ARM/SHOULDER
PAIN AND NUMBNESS
·
Cervical herniated disc
·
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
·
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
·
Rhomboid trigger points
The purpose of this book is to shed light on the common
causes of pain and dysfunction that are misdiagnosed and mistreated. This chapter discusses the four most common
conditions that cause pain to shoot down the arm that are often
overlooked. These four conditions are
not the only causes of shooting arm pain.
But they are commonly missed so I have included them in this
chapter.

The four conditions that I am going to discuss are: herniated disc (or bulging disc), thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and rhomboid trigger points.
The first, herniated disc, is often correctly diagnosed, but is often over-diagnosed as well. The second, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), is very common and is often under-diagnosed. The third, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), I believe is often over-diagnosed. And the fourth, rhomboid trigger points, is often under-diagnosed.
All four share the symptoms of a shooting pain down the arm and pins and needles in the fingers. However, they originate from four different locations. Knowing how to differentiate between these conditions will greatly help to diagnose which condition you have and lead you to the correct treatment.
If you have shoulder pain or arm pain that hasn't responded to medical treatment, you should read this chapter. If you have been told that you have Carpel Tunnel Syndrome or wrist pain,
and you are not satisfied with the results of your treatment, you should read this chapter to
discover information and suggestions that have helped many people successfully treat their shooting arm pain.

The
book "Ask Dr Bruce - PAIN FREE Uncommon Solutions for Common Injuries" was very helpful
for my shoulder problem. I have had right shoulder problems for the
past few years. The information on Rhomboid Trigger Points was very
helpful. I am now on a routine using the treatment suggestions
provide in the book.

I have had a problem with
pain shooting down my arm pretty much my whole life off and on. This
book helped me not only understand what's going on to cause the pain, but
what steps to take to better the problem as well. My husband got a hold of
the book and was able to help his chronic knee pain with Dr. Bruce's
advice. If you can't use something in the book right now, hold on to it,
you might be able to use it in the future!
Thanks,

I
always believed I suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and was often
frustrated when the treatments I received had little or no long term
effects. Thanks Dr. Bruce for your insights that prompted me to ask
my doctor the right questions that led to an accurate diagnosis of wrist
tendonitis. I am now receiving the treatment I need.
