Hi girls,
I've had a terrible weekend. I can't stand this pain in my left shoulder blade which radiates down my arm and it's in my chest as well. It's been going on for a few months now and osteotherapy has helped a lot but I get really bad bouts of it. My left hip and leg feel really achy as well. I'm miserable because I feel giddy and dizzy when the pain comes. Have you got any advice?
Love to all
Gabby

My left side seems more tense than the right as well.In fact I get a big tension knot in my left shoulder that makes the left side of my face feel numb!!I have my husband rub some muscle cream on there at night and it seems to help.Also maybe try a heating pad.I hate that you are feeling bad.GODbless

Gabby,

I'm so sorry that you're in such pain and I wish you could get some relief from it. Hopefully they'll give you some relief. I've had the achy lower back, left hip, and left leg recently, too, and sometimes the pain is hard to take. Is the pain in your hip and leg sciatica? What does your doctor say about the pain in your upper body? Do you know what it's from, or is it "peri pain"? I know it's really common for us to have aches and pains during peri. I can only repeat what Lady E. said about the sore muscle cream and the heating pad.

Take care, and best wishes,
Deb

I know one thing and that is when my upper back aches, i use my massage machine to relieve the pain, with little swelling on the muscle. But the relieve specially in my head is soo much better. Usually the masage bring my mind back to normal, i think is just that the circulation start to work much better, and the blood can run better to my brain. Another pain that i have is the one that start from neck to my little toe on my right side ( if you will trace a line on my right side will go from the outer side of my neck going toward my shoulder going to my elbow to my little finger and running down to the side of outer right side of my back toward my outer side of my leg and end on my little toe. Lately i've found some kind of relieve, probably b/c i'm working out ( yoga for my back ) and tha's why i guess is helping me with that. But this is not the end now my low back started to botther some, right after i moved some of my christmas stuff, boy my butt cheeks are hurting too. So you are not alone on these meno dance.
