I Have An Extreme Pain In My Right Arm Near
Question: i have an extreme pain in my right arm near my elbow and upwards that also feels like it connects with my right shoulder blade. I had my right shoulder replaced in XXXXXXX of '17. It only hurts when i have my arm in a certain position. i took two Aleve 220mg 2 hrs ago. I have some of my Hydrocodone/Acetamin 5-325mg tabs left from last year. Can i take one or two of those now?
Brief Answer:
You can take hydrocodone for pain relief.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It can be due to musculoskeletal pain like in strain injury.
As of now you can take acetaminophen/hydrocodone tablets for pain relief.
You can also apply warm compresses for symptomatic relief. You have to immobilise the arm for two days.
Generally the symptoms will settle in couple of days. If pain persists better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Wishing all the best.
