How To Treat Left-sided Arm Pain And Upper Back Caused Due To A Sprain?
hi. I had a car accident on Sunday morning. Nothing mayor. I didn t have to go to the hospital. I can feel muscle pain mostly caused by the seat belt on my left side arm, neck. I find that normal. However, I feel heat on my spine going up and down on my upper back. It s uncomfortable. I can t say that it s painful. Not sure if this is normal or something to worry about. Any ideas?

Dear patient
you seem to be suffering from blunt trauma to upper back and left arm due to accident. if you are able to move independent and all the movements of left shoulder is possible you need not to worry. for pain relief you can take tab ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day. If there is swelling do ice fomentation. Keep limb elevated and take rest for 2 to 3 days. you will be alright.
