I have pain in my right shoulder and my wrists for 2 months and recently seems getting worse and got needle poking. Went to clinic and get the some medicine ie anti inflammation, vit b, pain. After finished medicine, still not much better. Then wrote me referer letter to orthopedic. orthopedic said I got frozen shoulder. I also told him my both arms and my wrist also pain. Gave me 2 injections and said that it will help 50% and then ask me to do physio and next appointment is one month later.

Everyday, I use keyboard and mouse a lot as I am a software engineer. But I feel more pain when on my wrist when I type and use my mouse. Not sure if I got carpal tunnel and what are other possibilities? What specialist should I go?

Steve, has your shoulder pain improved after the injections? How old are you? I would recommend going back to your orthopaedic surgeon and telling him/her if your pain hasn't improved.

From what you've said, you COULD have carpal tunnel syndrome, but you it could still be a shoulder issue e.g. a torn rotator cuff muscle etc. It could also be something compressing one of the nerves in your neck that supply your hand.

I know you are probably looking to see a different doctor, but really it's best if you talk to the doctor you have already seen. A neck or shoulder MRI or nerve conduction test may help locate the problem.

Get well soon!

Physiotherapy will help to diagnose and healing.
