Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have ongoing pain in my left arm coming from my shoulder after nursing a toddler for half an hour. The only relief is leaning back and then the arm is more comfortable. I ve noticed the tips fingers in that arm are getting desensitised. I m taking Ibuferon and panadol alternatively. This is now five days. The first two days I still did my chores as movement didn t make any difference but standing and leaning forward, jolting in the car all causes the pain in my arm to worsen. The pain is similar to having a dead arm. Medication only eases the pain but doesn t stop it.
Your symptoms seem to be related to muscle strain.Some advice that I can give to you are:
- use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day
- use anti inflammatory creams for local application
- use heat compresses for local application
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
General & Family Physicia
