What Causes Pain In Neck And Shoulders?
thank you
You are having cervical spondylitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and most of the reports are normal. Pain in neck along with shoulder pain is caused by disc herniation in the neck. It leads to compression of the nerve of shoulder and it causes pain. I have following suggestion for patients with cervical spondylitis.
1. Get MRI to confirm how severe is nerve compression. According to that we can plan further management.
2. Intermittent cervical traction exercise will help. Also neck muscle strengthening exercises is useful.
3. Avoid keeping neck in same position for long time and also do not use very big pillow.
4. Take Pregabalin and Methylcobal for shoulder pain. Muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz is helpful for neck pain.
I hope these measures will be helpful in you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
