What causes severe shoulder pain along with rashes on wrist and forearms?
Patient: Extreme pain that radiates from my shoulder down to my left arm and results in a rash. The rash is visible at the point where the pain is in my sholder to many points down my arm. Rash is at the wrist, forearm, and elbow areas. Feels like paper cuts, burns, and is on fire with any type of touching. Doctor: hi,thank-you for providing the brief history of you.As mentioned the pain is in the shoulder than a thoroguh neuromuscular and skin assessment is recommended.Also, if the nature of the pain is radiating in nature, it could be related to any nerve pathology. Since nerve carries both the functions - motor and sensory as well. Also an MRI post the Neuromuscular assessment of the cervical spine us recommend. An NCV test will help further to check the course of the nerve. On a later stages the skin rashes needs assessment as the skin rashes and the radiating pain has no connection as per my understanding. Also, once coming close to the root cause the next part can be planned.For rashes, it is about the dry skin, and may be a reaction to the medicine if taken any or may be due to any bite of an insect. which might need an dermatologist attention.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
