Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has ongoing back pain for going on 2 years. He has had the injection by a pain management MD, Physical Therapy twice, now under the care of a chiropractor. But over the weekend he has new pain more toward the top of his spine (usual pain is about a third down his spine and to the right), along with pain down his right arm, and his right pointer finger is numb. He has no other new symptoms including heart symptoms.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. With this description , I am Inclined to think in terms of cervical disc prolapse effecting C6 nerve root on right side. For this I would suggest pain killers ,muscle relaxants and a combination of Pregabalin + Methycobalamin. Physiotherapy would be of immense help in this condition. Thanks
