Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Persistent Shoulder Pain Be Associated With Bug Bite On The Index Finger?
I had a bug bite on my right index finger, which created a medium size pustule, I broke it and attempted to drain it. It then became larger and my finger at the first joint began to ache. That was about 1 week ago. For the past several days I now have severe pain in the joint of my shoulder that is constant. I am wondering if they are related? Brian Buxton YYYY@YYYY
It is not related to the bug bite. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
