Question: Hello Doctor, The following is a query for my brother, who is facing severe pain on and off. Please suggest the best advice from your side. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Doctor I am having pain in left side of the neck, left hand, arm, shoulder with numbness since 1 month, the numbness along with severe pain will be radiating from the shoulder till palm. Frequency of this pain occurs in 1 to 2 minutes. During night times it will be more and will not be able to sleep properly. I have consulted a Doctor who after hearing my symptoms told that I have thoracic outlet syndrome, and suggested to take physiotherapy. I took 15 sessions but no improvement. Kindly suggest which type of specialists I should approach and good doctor for this kind of problem. Also I had back pain for 3 to 4 years which I am keeping it away by doing strengthening exercise. I have done complete spine scan and I am attaching the report here. Thanks in advance. Regards, XXXXXXX (Age: 33 yrs)

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX A.T Thanks for your reply. I had first met a Neurologist only and he had did NCS (Nerve conduction test) for both hands and the report was normal. Subsequently, he had suggested for Physiotherapy but the problem is the fluctuating response/recovery of my body for this treatment based on the person doing it (it has not been same person doing it). Can you please let me know about the present stage of the problem and in general how long these physiotherapy sessions have to be taken? As right physiotherapy is very essential for cure this problem, can you please suggest a good physiotherapist (or) good physiotherapy clinics in Bangalore. I stay in Old Airport road. Thanks in Advance, Regards, XXXX
