Customer Question

I’m an amputee, AE...

I’m an amputee, AE. About 3-4” bone from socket, fell and jammed it on Friday Am. No break or dislocation. Been in excruciating pain. I have muscle relaxers and pain pills taken as directed. It relaxes me and relieves pain as long as I’m not moving and awake. As soon as I fall asleep my shoulder spasms and the pain wakes me. I’ve had about 6 hrs sleep in 48 hrs! Help I think I have nearness damage. Reccomendation for a specialist.

Doctor's Assistant: When were you prescribed this medication? How severe were any side effects?

Just made me drowsy and slight reief

Doctor's Assistant: Have you used anything else for this?

Ice, makes it worse, make my stump quiver thus pain is extreem

Doctor's Assistant: Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

Not for this issue, was amputee since 92 and have dealt with phantom pain but this is not that

Hello -

Is the pain only in your shoulder? In the neck? How about the hand?

Customer reply replied 1 year ago

Seriously? What hand, apparently you didn’t read my question!

Neurologist: Dr. Mark, Neurologist (MD) replied 1 year ago

Hello -

I'm just trying to get an idea of your pain.

People that have pain in the shoulder often have a nerve issue that is affecting the arm. This can come from the neck, and can affect the neck, both shoulders, arm and hand (your other hand). If you had those types of symptoms, then one could assume that this is a pinched nerve in the neck.

I'm trying to figure out where your pain is located exactly, and where, if at all, it radiates.

Customer reply replied 1 year ago

It’s just in my stump and shoulder

Neurologist: Dr. Mark, Neurologist (MD) replied 1 year ago

Does this only hurt if you are moving the joint at the shoulder?

Does it hurt if you use your other hand to push in the muscles of the shoulder?

And how do you know there is no dislocation or fracture -- did they do shoulder xrays?
