How long should I wait before going to the doctor?

Question

My right shoulder, arm, hip, and leg have been hurting for about a week. Tylonol 3 and Aleve are barely taking the edge off.

Go in now.  It could be something very serious and it could be nothing.  Don't take a chance.

Make your appointment as soon as possible. You don't know if it's arthritis or just an annoying pinched nerve that might actually become aggrivated and do perminant damage. Yeah, I'm just saying that to scare you, but a week is long enough to be in pain...

I would say soon because usually if the pain continues for a week thats not a good sign

You might have a pinched nerve in your neck area. Go to your doctor to have that checked out. You might need a CATscan or a MRI
