I have been having pain since February, woke up with what I thought was a stiff neck and after 5 days numbness and tingling going down my L arm, pain in my L shoulder, and deep, deep muscle pain in my tricep muscle on the left. Not a candidate for injection, thank god!!, Went to 2 PT appts and started developing pain in The R arm and shoulder blade!!!. I am nervous having surgery cause I have what they say is asthma, my oxygen sats run 91% on room air resting. I am afraid of the need to be put on a ventilator or BiPap machine to help my breathing.
