And at the base of my neck , down my shoulder blade in the back. It constantly aches, then stop, no damage, no trauma, no injury, nothing. Dr says its probably muscular skeletal. Every nerve test, MRI, ct scan, xray has been done. I do sorta favor sleeping and leaning to that side more than often. Any suggestions or tips besides meds, ice pack and heat. Help a sister out pls I'm miserable and tired of being in pain.

Sweet with what your describing and all the normal being ruled out if you have not had a cardiac work up I would. In women heart disease is widely misdiagnosed as back and shoulder issues. It may be just as the Dr says some muscle issue but please play it safe and have the cardiac issues ruled out. Better safe than surprised by a heart attack at some point by a problem that's been going on for awhile.

Good luck to you.

I've had a cardiac work up. Numerous EKG, 2 stress test, one regular and one nuclear. It mainly starts at the back of my neck and travel down, sometimes starting at my elbow.

Sweet, I read a recent post of yours & you said the dr is thinking you may have a nerve issue going on. A nerve problem can cause the symptoms you have described. I would be getting back in to that dr & have a follow up on treatment for a nerve issue. There several meds available that treat nerve pain. These medications take time to see any benefit from them, sure would be worth checking in to.

Take care.

Just a thought...you might research Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
