Shoulder And Hand Muscle Pain, Computer Usage, Low Vitamin D And B

Hello Doctor, I am suffering from upper shoulder and right hand muscle pain due to computer usage, for last four years. This is severe that I can t work on computer for more than 30 minutes continuosly. I cannot sleep on right side as it is very painful. I have tried regular exercises and physiotherapy but it has not helped. REcently I did blood test for vitamins , Vitamin D was extermely low, below the lower limit and Vitamin B was within limit but on lower side. I have been advised for Vitamin D & B capsules. Initially, I think, it did help but I do not see much difference now. Please advise. Thank you,

Hi
Welcome to HCM

It will take some time for vitamin tablet to make your blood level to normal. The cause of the pain should be found out. I think improper placing of the hand by you might be responsible for it.

I advice you to discuss with physiotherapist regarding correct posture while working. I also advice you to go for x ray shoulder, elbow and wrist to rule out any deformity.

Hope i have helped and you got some useful information.

Wish you good health.
