I'm trying to picture this in my mind as I raise and lower my left arm. If a nerve is being pinched and causing the pain, can you stretch and relieve the pressure on the nerve? Have you ever had a dislocated shoulder, could it be slipping a bit at the joint? My right knee will feel like there is tissue caught in the joint sometimes, does it feel like that? The only thing I can do for my knee when that happens is bend it hard and pull my foot up in the back as high as possible. Can you grab something stationary with your left hand and pull back to relieve the pain? Can you tell that I try wierd things to relieve my pain!?! :lol::lol:

Thats so weird cuz I had that same thing going awhile ago...it was my left arm too and it would pinch somewhere near my armpit. Especially if I raised my arm. I used to smoke and for some reason I think when I smoked it got worse. Its also related to food intolerances I think cuz it happened a couple weeks ago when I was having a bad reaction....it was the first time in like over a year that it happened. It would also pinch if I tilted my head to the left....like to stretch my neck muscles. It would pinch in my left underarm if I was looking down and strecthing my neck.

You might consider seeing your doc for this issue. If your muscle is sore to touch, your chest wall is in pain and it has been like this for awhile, you may be doing more damage to it by leaving it untreated. It could be nothing, but you may have a bone spur, muscle/tendon tear or something that has gotten loose within the shoulder structure. Tara

If it feels like a pinched nerve sort of feeling, it could be your mylan sheath. Mine is damaged due to the years of gluten damage. The mylan sheath is the insulation around your nerves.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
