How Can Pain In The Neck And Shoulder Region Be Treated?
Question: I have woken up today with pain in the left hand side of my neck. More recently my left shoulder and hand feel a bit funny. I have pins and needles in my hand. Is it anything I should worry about?
Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised, visit to a neurologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Painful involvement of neck or shoulder region can be due to diabetes associated frozen shoulder.
In absence of weakness, you can take gabapentin for pain relief.
Physiotherapy under guidance should be done.
Pain killers like aceclofenac or diclofenac with tizanidine or thiocholchicoside can be taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
