What Causes Chronic Pain On The Side Of Neck, Shoulder And Arm?
I am having chronic pain on left side of my neck into my shoulder and pain shooting down my left arm and numbness and tingles bad! My arm is very weak and I can t turn my neck or lift my arm hardly. Its been like this for a week and only getting worse! What could this be?
I have studied your case and I think you are having cervical spondylitis with neck muscle spasm, I would suggest you following. 1. X ray of the neck to confirm the diagnosis. 2. Intermittent cervical traction exercises . 3. Tablet Pregabalin and Methylcobal daily for one month. Should be taken at night time as it causes dizziness. 4. Do not use very high pillow. Do not keep neck in same position for long time.Also apply voletran ointment. Also you can apply hot water fomentation and muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz tablet.
