This stuff WORKS for nerve pain, muscle pain, etc..

I have severe shoulder pain, especially when using either A. an overhand throwing motion or, B. reaching behind my back. I've been to an orthopedic doctor. He did x-rays and said that I did have arthritis. He further examined me and said that I didn't have a torn rotator cuff, tendonitis, or bursitis. He gave me a cortisone shot into one of my shoulder joints that hurt like hell, but did help. I then went to a chiropractor and he suggested that I may have a pinched nerve in my neck. I've been going to therapy with him 3 times a week for 3 weeks now, with no relief whatsoever. OTC pain meds don't help in the slightest, and anything stronger causes me to projectile vomit. I've had this pain since June. I didn't have any kind of injury. I'm 40 years old. Please help.
Go to a better chiropractor.
Neurologist
Did the doctor give you an MRI?
Go see a doctor.
Arthritis is something that requires more explanation than most doctors give. Most doctors assume you don’t care about the nuances.
There are several types of arthritis conditions and triggers - as well as where the affected area is that decides a lot.
Arthritis in just one shoulder doesn’t make sense. I have it simply everywhere. My left hip bothers me more because I have an irregular skeleton (HME) that inflames tissue as I move.
Sounds like adhesive capsulitis.
Can you get a referral to a neurologist? Nerve pain may be the cause and believe it or not they sometimes prescribe an anti-depressant to block the nerve pain to the brain. Good luck.
Are you taking any statins?
thoracic outlet syndrome?...
Oops. Said that I DIDN’T have arthritis.

no
Avoid the chiropractor, most of them are useless. Find an acupuncture specialist and embrace the miracle of their treatments.
However I would also get a second and third opinion and find a doctor who will do their job and send you for an MRI before shooting you up with hormones that can have questionable side effects.

I had a pain in my shoulder turned out to be some blocked arteries in my heart.
I don’t know what your med history is but if you have precursors for heart disease (high BP, high cholesterol, diabetes) I’d get referred to a cardiologist.
Had a triple bypass last June.

Could be tendonitis, esp. If cortizone helped though it could be all arthritis. See if the corner of clavicle is impinging on biceps tendon.
