Neck/shoulder/arm pain

I had a car accident 9 years ago and was given the old you have whiplash scenario but from that very moment I knew something wasn't right.I had the next year off work.

I have had 2 MRI scans and 3 X-rays all saying there is nothing wrong.

I have had countless sessions of physio and even had accupuncture with electricity passed through the pins all to no avail.

I was then diagnosed with myofacial sensitisation (if thats how you spell it) and and because of the pain not worked for the last 3 years!

My neck since the accident has always "clunked" when looking from right to left and I have always been told not to worry about it..but 3 days ago I found I cannot look left as the pain is unbearable and the only relief I get is to hold my left arm above my head!..there are loads of other symtoms that go with problems but if i typed them all here the server would crash!

Any ideas what this latest problem could be?

Hi jonsey.

I had the same sort of injury and have three prolapsed discs and I have now been off work for about 16. Months and they have now said that I have fibromyalgia.

After all the usual treatments I had 4 cortisone injections into the facet joints. I have been told to expect improvement after 5 days or so.

It's another avenue to try. .........

been there done that had 3 sessions of it that didnt work either..mentioned to the Dr that did it about seeing a chiropractor but he told me not to waste my money!

It doesn't seem to 

It doesn't seem to have been any good for me to.

If you can find a really good old osteopath that used to be good for me but unfortunately he is no longer with us.

Their is a thing called "Mixed connective tissue disease" I am trying to get the Dr's to look in to thatfor me.

Best of luck to you
