Shoulder & Arm Pain

I AM 64 Yr, OLD FEMALE, SEVERAL Yr's AGO I HAD ROTO CUFF SUJURY ON BOTH SHOULDERS, EVERYTHING WENT FINE, BUT NOW I HAVE NUMNESS ALONG WITH DEEP ACHEING IN MY ARMS MAINLY THE RIGHT ONE, SOMETIMES WAKING ME IN THE NIGHT. I DONT WANT TO START TAKING A LOT OF DRUGS AT THIS LATE DATE, AS IN GENERAL I AM IN REALY GOOD HEALTH AND HAVE NOT HAD TO TAKE ANY "YET" I HAVE HEARD ABOUT USING INJECTABLE STEROIDS IN THE PAIN SITE AS WELL AS A DRUG CALLED SKELACTIN, HOWEVER NOT KNOWING A LOT ABOUT THEM, I AM NOT SURE WHICH WOULD DO THE MOST LONG TERM GOOD, CAN YOU HELP ME, AND TELL ME WHICH WOULD BE THE BETTER OF THE 2?

Have you consulted a doctor?

In most countries, either one of them is going to require a doctor's prescription to use.

Skelaxin, which contains the active ingredient Metaxalone, is a muscle relaxant, therefore, it only helps with pain that is caused by muscle spasms.

Steroids will only help if the pain and numbness you're experiencing is caused by inflammation/swelling.

You may be experiencing pain from nerve damage or pinched nerves and if that is the case, then it isn't likely that either one will really help, which is why you should consult a doctor.
