[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 598279, member: 5529"] I had constant pain in my right shoulder that on a good day was like a muscle ache,on a bad day it went into the middle of my back and down my arm to my fingertips. After ongoing diagnosis it was eventually determined ,by an orthopedic specialist, to be subchromal compression. It is where the bones of the shoulder close down on the nerve bundle coming from the spine on down the arm. Where it became work related was because of the constant movement inflamed the nerve bundle and surrounding tissue which as it would swell within the restricted pathway leading to some pretty severe pain some days. The solution was a decompression surgery where the shoulder bones were cut apart,had material removed to make more room for the nerves, and then smoothed and screwed back together. There was also a small rotator cuff tear also caused by the bone compression. Two weeks after surgery I was in therapy and back to work six months later. It now works better than the non-surgery shoulder plus you end up with a cool scar for picking up chicks. I originally reported the pain to UPS when normal rest and minor medication failed to make it go away. [/QUOTE]
