How Long Does Inflammation In The Shoulder And Lower Back Take To Alleviate?
Went to the doctor due to neck and shoulder pain and lower back pain. The Dr stated it was inflamed and prescribe an anti-inflammatory medicine and suggested physical therapy (awaiting the PT referral) I ve been taking it for 4 days, how long would it take for me to feel relief. I m still feeling the burring sensation in my lower back and the neck and shoulder feels a little better but still hurts.

Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that the duration of inflammation and pain depends on the causative factors. You have not mentioned the diagnosis. But approximately it will take a weeks time for pain and inflammation to subside with regular Medicines and physical therapy. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
