Suggest Treatment For Pain In Arm And Shoulder With Blurred Vision

I was involved in a car accident 6 days ago. I have severe neck, back, shoulder, knee, chest and jaw pain. I don't think I hit my head because I was wearing a seatbelt. I came back to work yesterday and besides the pain, there weren't any additional symptoms. Today I've had a pain in my left arm, near the shoulder area and my vision is blurred.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would refer you to the ER of your nearest hospital for a complete neurological and ophthalmological assessment and a possible CT scan of the head even if there was not history of any head injury. Till then an anti inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor drug would relieve you of some of the symptoms.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
