I have been having shoulder problems for many years. For the last couple of months, the top of my shoulder blade hurts. I can push in between the joints and feel the pain. But, the last couple of days the pain runs from my shoulder to by elbow and into the joints of my fingers. Coughing causes the pain, it hurts when I sleep, and both of my hands and arms go numb when I sleep, hold the phone too long, etc. I was checked for carpal last year, but dr said it wasn't too bad, wear a brace. Well, I now feel like I'm falling apart. What do I do? And is Ibuprophen the best pain killer? Thanks.
