Suggest Treatment For Numbness, Chills And Pain From The Jaw To The Shoulder
I am 77 years old I ve had many injuries in my younger life. I had by pass surgery in 1995, so far no problems. I had a fusion in my lower back 4 years ago. No further problem except for some discomfort in my lower back, upper hips. In the last few days I have developed some pain in my upper right should and neck. From time to time I have a numbing, chilled sensation from my should to my jaw and lower ear. My doctor in not available until next week. Should I seek other medical help or can this wait until by doctor is available?

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like TMJ dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
