Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Arms And Back
Question: I have a lot of pain in both arms and my back
Brief Answer:
Osteoporosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
You seem to be having Osteoporosis, which is weakening of all the bones of the body with pain mostly in the shoulder and pelvic girdles.
Eat diet rich in Vitamin D and Calcium like chicken, lean meat, nuts, green leafy vegetables, oatmeal, eggs. Drink plenty of water. Go for daily walk at 3:00PM for 45 minutes for adequate sunlight exposure to help reduce deficiency of Vitamin D.
You can take Calcium and Vitamin D supplements.
Do get a DEXA or Bone mineral density scan to find out if your bones are weak.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
