Aching shoulder, tingling forearm.
Discussion
I started doing some weights and stuff a month or two ago, just a few days a week, and I think I may have done some damage. I was also using a computer for hours in a not too good sitting position, and now my shoulder-blade and shoulder throbs like crazy sometimes, and my forearm gets pins and needles if I hold it in certain positions.
If I lean my head to that side and back a bit, I get a sharp pain in the back of my shoulder.
Can I get an accurate and swift PH solution, and cure please?
I'd got to the docs, but we live in the Philippines so I'd probably get the same options I did when I saw a doc in the UK last with a problem on the other shoulder: "tablets or injection sir?" without so much as an examination.....
That problem was eventually cured by Googling, and it was also bad posture, but this time I can't seem to shake it off.

The thing is I'm not sure if it was hours sitting at the PC in a bad position, or an actual injury lifting something, it just developed over a couple of weeks. I felt it most when using the PC though.
The tingling never started until after I'd flown back from the USA after finishing four weeks on the ship.
I thought DVT, but it doesn't seem to be getting worse.....
Maybe a visit to a chiropractor?

I had the carpal tunnel release operation in my left hand about five years ago, but didn't get the right one done. This is a different feeling altogether really. However, the same nerve can get trapped in the elbow, where it runs through a similar groove to the one in the hand. That is cubital tunnel syndrome.
The ache seems to have gone from my shoulder altogether, but the tingling still comes back at certain times. I can find no particular one movement or position that triggers it.

The shoulder pain seems to have gone mainly, and the tingling/pins and needles feeling comes and goes, but seems to be getting better. I did try to squeeze through a door a couple of days ago, as it was jammed nearly closed, had to twist my shoulder to get through and it felt like someone had touched me with 220 volts. 
We actually have an inversion table in the gym at work, so I might try one of those. I've heard they are good for a whole variety of things, not just stretching the spine.

I had some nerve tests done for my carpal tunnel syndrome. It had backed off a bit by the time I got to see the specialist, as it comes and goes, but the tests apparently did still give an accurate diagnosis.
My tingling and aching is still slowly , going away, fingers crossed it don't come back.
