What Could Cause Radiating Pain From The Shoulders To The Neck Along With Throat And Nasal Dryness?
Can be due to spondylosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The discomfort in the neck that you have at this age can be related to spondylotic changes in the cervical vertebrae.
Treatment includes:
1. Use of cervical collar helps in immobilization and brings relief.
2. Medical drugs like pain killers - Acetaminophen/Ibuprofen and muscle relaxants might be helpful.
3. Methylcobalamin supplements are also recommended for nerve compression symptoms.
4. Cervical isometric exercises are beneficial to maintain the strength of the neck muscles. Neck and upper back stretching exercises, as well as light aerobic activities, are also recommended under the guidance of a physical therapist.
5. Hot fomentation helps in relieving acute symptoms.
6. You can avoid using a pillow.
As you try these measures, I also encourage you to consult an orthopedician for both evaluation and to avail stronger prescription of medications.
I hope this answers your query. Wishing you good health.
Regards.
