Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had continous pain and swelling in my neck for well over 2 years. Nothing seems to help and it is getting worse. my pinky fingers go numb as well as my pinky toes. I did therapy and had to stop due to increase in migranes. I have had injections in my neck and they quit working after awhile. I have had an xray and it swoed a small case of scoliosis about 4 inches under where my problem is. Muscle relaxers do not help. Pain meds help get through the day but is severely worse when meds not taken.What could it be?

Suggest Medications For Pain & Swelling In Neck
Hello, It could be due to conditions like cervical spondylitis. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
