Nuggets of Wisdom
CO-EXISTENT NECK AND SHOULDER PROBLEMS:
Shoulder and neck problems often co-exist, which is not surprising given their close anatomical proximity. It is important to decide through the history and physical examination, which of the two is the most dominant contributor to the sum total of the symptoms. A careful clinical examination of the cervical spine and the shoulder very often resolves this. Imaging may not achieve this, thus further highlighting the crucial role of a thorough clinical examination.
