Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation And Pain In The Neck And Wrist

I fell down the steps about a month ago. I noticed pain off and on but never got it checked. Here lately, the pain is back but more frequent. Today there is now a burning sensation and pain running from what feels like my neck to wrist. I also feel pain when trying to lay on my side. What could possibly be wrong?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have burning sensation and pain in the neck and wrist. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like radiculopathy , cervical spondylosis , herniated disk , mononeuropathy , peripheral neuropathy , neuralgia , multiple sclerosis or hypoparathyroidism. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to neck and wrist , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest . If condition doesn't get better then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI along with nerve conduction . Doctor may order anti inflammatory along with muscle relaxant and nerve supplement . Doctor may recommend surgery in severe damage .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
