Severe Back And Fore Arm Pain. Prescribed Torflash, Acton. Cause Of Problem?
Hi, A friend of mine has severe back and fore arm pain very frequently. She went to a General Physician and he did a thyroid and sugar test. These were clear. He then prescribed Torflash 60A, Acton OR and Ranitin 150. Like most doctors in India he did not disclose what the problem could be. My friend is a domestic help with no education. I would like to know what the problem could be? Does she need to get any further test done? She is overweight and about 52 years in age. Thank you, Priya.

Hi, it appears to be the cervical spondylosis, and associated nerve pain of the fore arm due to the pressure.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. She may need to have M.R.I. for confirmation.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and one injection every week. And pain killers when ever there is pain. Thank you.
