Is my shoulder subluxed or is it something else?
I don’t know if I have hEDS or not. I’ve looked over the diagnostic criteria and from a self-examination, I’m 95% sure I have it. My mom has worse symptoms than I do. She is almost 50 and can touch her thumbs to her wrists. When she was younger she used to be able to put her feet behind her head.
I want your input on my situation because you have experience with EDS.
My shoulder has been in this state for almost two years. I got an MRI yesterday and it was “unremarkable”. I’ve had X-Rays that came up normal as well. My shoulder ached more after the MRI, the vibrations agitated something in there.
I have full range of motion with my right arm, but there is this clicking within my shoulder, it feels like the joint? It doesn’t hurt when it clicks though. My muscles used to shudder really bad when I would move my arm from the side to in front of me.
I’m going to try to describe the pain best I can, but I find it difficult to properly explain it.
Right about where my tank top touches my shoulder, I had this slicing/searing pain, on the outer side of my shoulder above my tattoo it feels like there’s a burning pressure. My tricep constantly aches, and as of Monday I had pain in a new spot. It was in my armpit and felt like uncomfortable pressure. The red X in the second picture is where I feel pins and needles if anything brushes my skin. I don’t know if this is related, but recently I’ve been able to pop my the vertebrae between my shoulder blades just by pulling my shoulders back. My shoulder was so bad off that I couldn’t even write without feeling intense pain all over.
I would appreciate any and all advice, I just want my shoulder fixed 🙏
EDIT: I went to see my chiropractor and he put my shoulder back in the socket
