Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck And Back Pain
Question: I am very much in pain since last week. Suffering from severe neck and back pain due to which i feel stiffness in my body and a bit unable to bend and move my neck.
I also have sinusitis and due to sinusitis and neck pain, my head aches a lot and almost everytime. The pain moves to my hands and sometimes my legs too. I had menstrual period from 3rd Sep which usually takes 5-6 days to stop but this time it stopped in less than 3 days. I am confused whether the leg pain is due to menstrual problem or the neck pain. Please help and let me know if any test required and which specialist shall i consult.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Your neck pain can be due to muscle spasm or disc bulge.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain.
There can be disc bulge which is compressing over spinal cord.
MRI cervical spine will help to confirm your reason for neck pain.
For these symptoms analgesic with muscle relaxant and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give you relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Menstrual period can lead to leg pain which may reduce after periods are over.
So if you have persistent pain then other reasons for pain should be ruled out.
Many of my patients get relief from sinusitis and chronic pain by yoga pranayama and XXXXXXX XXXXXXX so you can also due that.
You may need to consult orthopaedic surgeon and ENT doctor.
