Suggest Treatment For Back And Shoulder Pain
Question: My mum is complaining of an ache in her deltoid shoulder & pain in her erector spine after getting up from the sleep; It isn't severe but she is experiencing it daily since couple of weeks. We planned to consult a doctor physically but wanted to know an opinion beforehand. So Dr would you please share your opinion on the same.
Brief Answer:
Opinion is based on clinical findings and test..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
From what I understand your mother has back pain as well as shoulder pain happening for the last couple of weeks. This pain is bothering her after getting up from sleep. Now, an opinion about the cause of such pain can be obtained only by a detailed clinical examination, blood test as well as radiological tests. I am glad you are planning to see a doctor. It's a good move. She should be seen by an orthopedic surgeon. Possible conditions like spasms, osteoarthritis and other joint conditions need to be ruled out. Blood test and radiological test (X-ray/MRI scan) may be necessary in this circumstance.
In short, I will recommend she visits an orthopedician and undergoes the tests after clinical examination. This will allow us identify the cause and its treatment. Please feel free to get back to me once the aforementioned suggestions are performed.
Hope this helps.
Regards
