Suggest Remedies For Radiating Pain In Shoulder And Neck Post An Injury

On Tuesday I fell and landed on my shoulder. I have pain in my shoulder and shooting up my neck. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worse my pain is at a 8.5. I can lift my arm but last night while sleeping my arm went numb and when I woke up and was trying to shake the needle feeling out of the arm from it waking up I had a hard time trying to straighten my elbow. I also have a very hard time turning my head to the left which is the side I fell on. Any ideas what it could be?

Hello,

It may be due to nerve compression due to injury.

For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.

You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.

You can take tablet acetaminophen for pain.

You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.

Continue physical therapy

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
