Need evaluation....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

For how long has she been dealing with this type of pain?
Does the pain also involve the hand / fingers on the right side?
Does she report numbness / tinging / weakness on the right hand/fingers?
Has she seen a doctor for this problem? Any tests performed?
Does she have any known medical condition including diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid ailment, heart conditions, etc.?

The neck and shoulder pain may be related to a cervical spine issue. The details you provide will help me relate to the problem better and guide you.

Therefore awaiting your response...

Brief Answer:
Start pain medications...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As suggested earlier, the pain could be related to a cervical spine and should be evaluated.

However, as the pain is acute in nature and there is no history of neck pain in the past, she can try regular pain medications such as Tab Etoshine MR twice daily for a few days. It should help ease the pain until you are able to plan an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification.

Regards

Hi,

This tablet is a prescription medicine. However since it doesn't contain a schedule H & X components, you can check with a local pharmacist who will be able to provide it without a prescription in XXXXXXX
