How Can Pain In The Back And Shoulder Be Treated?

Hello, my name is Stanley. I had a seizure last year this time, and was given Levetiracetam (among others). I ran out a few days ago, and feel horrible. Back and shoulder pain, and shortness of breath is happening right now. I am Asthmatic, but I was wondering if I should try to get back on this medication?

The seizure medication shouldn't have anything to do with your current symptoms.

Hopefully you had your shortness of breath checked out by your doctor.

Back and shoulder pain, if you are still having it, could be further evaluated with MRI imaging and your doctor's exam.

If you are not having seizures, then there is no need to remain on the Levetiracetam.
