Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
2 years ago I felt a neck muscle pull on my right side. The pain went all the way down to my feet. For 2 weeks I felt some discomfort from that muscle to facial muscles on and off again. Then the pain went to my lower neck muscles on my back. They became very sore. I went to the chiropractor because I started to get a fever and from x rays it looked like a pinched nerve. We took care of that but the pain was still there. At this point it is in my shoulder blades and half way down my back. My muscles start to get hot and then this dull ache sets in. Then I get severe headaches what is this? I ve seen an ortho, 3 chiro. P.t. Run blood work for arthritis, a pain management doctor. And a left shoulder mri.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle. I suggest to use a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest to use magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation. I recommend to use warm compresses for local application and also warm shower. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a rheumatologist for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
