Burning, annoying pain?

I'm only 17, but since I was 5 or 6 I've had one spot on my back right near my right shoulder blade where it just burns and hurts like hell. Recently, with work, it has gotten a thousand times worse, with pain traveling down my arm to my fingers and severe, burning pain in my whole left shoulder/back. I plan on seeing a chiropractor, but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similiar, and what they did to treat it. Thank you
Answer:
A chiropractor can't help you. You need to see a Neurologist. There are meds that can help with the pain that are specifically for nerve pain and aren't addictive.

I wouldn't go to a chiropractor, I'd go to a neurologist or a musculo-skeletal specialist. This sounds serious ~ you have to see a doctor ASAP.

Sounds like the story of my everyday life! Yes, I get that too. I'm glad you're going to the chiropractor. Many times when something's out of place like that, nerves get pinched and cause all kinds of pain. Take some ibuprofen to get you by until you see the chiropractor. Good luck!

I've had pain like that. It sounds like you have a problem with your spine, maybe something is out of alignment, causing the nerves to react. I know you said the pain was in your shoulder area, but it's called referred pain, and it happens with spinal misalignment. Certainly see a chiropractor, but in the meantime, I've found moist heat works. Dampen a thick towel, put it in the microwave for 60 seconds, check it's not too hot, then lay it on the sore spot until it cools.
Keeping the area warm is a good idea, and avoid sitting hunched over, it only makes it worse.

It sounds like you have some nerve damage from something that happened a while ago. A chiropractor could help out but making an appointment with a neurologist is a much better idea. Seeing this kind of specialist will make a diagnosis a much faster and more reliable route to take. I have fibromyalgia and I did see a chiropractor but this only made my condition worse. A massage therapist is a good idea but is something to ask a specialist about once you are in the exam room.
Good luck with this and I hope you get some kind of relief soon. Being in pain constantly can take a toll on you both physically and mentally. the sooner you see a specialist the better.
