[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 331006, member: 1991"] This could be connected. If you have an infected tooth, it could be making you feel 'blah'. It could also be triggering a generalised inflammatory reaction which could be affecting the joint in your shoulder. I know you feel it is in your muscle, but where you feel it is right next to the ball and socket joint of your shoulder. Or it could be connected to fibromyalgia - again, possibly inflammatory and also often associated with 'brain fog'. I've recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I don't agree with the label in my case, but I understand why they threw it my way. I also have been diagnosed with bursitis in all four major joints (ie both shoulders, both hips). Right side is always worst with me. I call it my "teddy bear joints". If you see a jointed teddy bear (or make one, as easy child 2/difficult child 2 did for school) you will see that the joints are all attached (hips and shoulders) with big scxrews that go into the joint. My joints feel like my arms and legs have bee nailed on, or screwed on. I can feel a point of pain as well as the area where the muscles attach to the edge of the joint is very painful. Not only painful to move (especially with load, such as shutting a tight drawer) sometimes, but painful with pressure. That pressure pain is apparently a dead giveway to this sort of problem. Treat the underlying problem (the tooth) and the rest of the symptoms may ease. Failing that - try antiinflammatories. But see the doctor before you mask your symptoms, because there are other things to be considered. if you just mask it, it will come back. Marg [/QUOTE]
