Guest guest Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 I have used olive oil/lemon flush successfully twice a few years ago. I now have pain in the right shoulderblade similar to what I had experienced before the flushing. However, this time it is also extending down the back of my arm as far as my little finger. Does anyone have experience to link this to gallbladder problems? Or know what else it may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi - I'm sorry you are having such a rough time with your arm. Where does the pain start from? I wonder if it starts in the shoulder, perhaps your bra strap is digging into a nerve - mine will do that. Do you have any pain in your abdomen on the right side? I wonder if it could be gallbladder or liver. Are you current on your bloodwork? How long have you been getting the Orencia infusions? Did this arm pain start when you started the Orencia? Sorry I haven't been much help. Just trying to think of reasons behind this arm pain. Perhaps calling your doctor in the morning will help give you more reasonable answers. Best of luck - Keep us posted........Doreen Hello, For the past couple of weeks I have been experencing right arm pain. It is not a constant pain but feels like a muscle spasm without the tightening of the muscle - a sharp like pain. My arm and hand will feel weak, sometimes lasting as long as 5 min. at a time. I don't have to be doing anything to bring on the pain. But if I am I have to stop till the pain passes. I've never had this kind of pain before and I have not been having a RA flareup at this time. Does anyone have any suggests about what this could be or has anyone experienced this type of pain. I am currently on Orlencia infusion. Thank You, .

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I have had my gallbladder removed, no pain on the right side or abd. Thought about my bra strap and I make sure they are loose enough. They check blood work every other infusion. So far ok. I've been on Orencia about 6 mths. I don't know if it is related to RA or not. It starts in my upper arm. I just don't know. That's the only way to figure anything out on your own is to try to narrow everything down. Thanks for the suggestions.
