Numbness And Tingling In Arm After Fall, EMG Showed Median Nerve Compression. Done Surgery. Now Pain In Face

Thanks for writing in to Heathcare Magic!
What a sequence of agonies!
First thing I would advise is to be careful to prevent any more falls!
The distribution of pain to so many sites at a time suggests severe local trauma resulting in pulled muscles and associated pain.
It is also possible to have bony injury in the spine, would like to get MRI Cervical and Upper thoracic spine to rule out any cord compression.
The local injections should be avoided any more because they are mostly steroids and cause local atrophy and carry risk of infection.
Rather you can use warm hydrotherapy locally and opioid pain killers orally to soothen the pain and spasm.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
