Should The ER Be Visited For Severe Shoulder Pain And Headaches?
I have a friend with me right now and she is in dire pain. has had a clavicle issue and had a medial branch block on wednesday, her second one. was told that did not it did not work. currently she is on humilog and paquinal. Plus has been given celebrex and cyclobenzaprine for her pain as needed. She is currently experiencing severe shoulder pain. swelling of her leg and beginning to develop severe headaches...my concern is that her doctors do not seem to be calling back and i wonder if she should go to the ER

Hello,
What clavicle problem she is having? Why they gave block is it due to pain or for surgery? She is also diabetes then possibility of frogen shoulder too leads to pain. If she is having uncontrolled shoulder pain means then she needs to consult your doctor immediately he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
