I had my routine yearly MRI of my brain and spine the other day.
In March I will go to HEI for Dr. Slattery to review the scans.
Hopefully, he will say that everything is stable, but I will be very
surprised if my spine tumors have not grown.
Something is going on back there,
and has been for a few months.
When sleeping, I lay on my right side,
and my left arm falls asleep. All the time!
Also, there is this constant....ache in the area of my right shoulder blade.
I say 'ache' for the lack of a better word. It doesn't hurt,
I'm not in pain, I am just aware of this sensation that is foreign.
When I turn my head to the side, mostly the right side, I get this burning sensation that travels down my neck to my shoulder blade area.
It is more annoying than anything else.
You got to understand though, I am weird about pain.
If i don't see blood, scrapes, bruises or some other obvious trauma,
then it doesn't really hurt.

You are in my head again about the sensation! I feel what you're sayin. I'm glad your mind is so strong, K.C.! Hopefully this is "just" chronic stuff that's added with time, and not tumor growth.
Another possibility is scar tissue and gunk in the brachial plexus area--which may not mean full-out spinal surgery.
Have you had a lot of muscle/tissue wasting around your neck and shoulders too? It's an ongoing attempt of mine to build things up, but very slow going. I always focused so much more on my legs for balance/strength. I'm also a side-sleeper, and been using pillows for support and to reduce pressure points for years. It's not a perfect fix, but it helps a lot, along with the egg-crate design convoluted mattress topper (<$30). Maybe a different pillow would help?
Well I'm still rubbing the lucky frog for you.
Love ya!
