Suggest Treatment For Left Sided Neck Pain And Shoulder Pain

My husband is suffering from very bad neck and shoulder pain,he already had an e-ray,mri, and an injection on his shoulders, nothing has helped him, today is a very bad day for him and he is in a lot of pain. He doesn t want a lot of medicines, he wants to get to the root of the problem. He is years old and last year was told that he has cancer called (Mantle Cell) anyone I don t know what else he can do or take,he also went to therapy, he doesn t t feel that did anything for him.His pain is on the neck,shoulder,and is taking the left side of his head.About

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have left sided neck pain and shoulder pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle spasm , nerve compression or heart problem like angina. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI along with nerve conduction test and physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , nerve supplement along with physical therapy . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for condition like angina. For now stay calm , take ibuprofen , apply warm compresses to shoulder and arm , do light stretching exercises under expert or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
