Suggest Remedy For Shoulder, Arm And Neck Pain
I have shoulder, neck and arm pain. I have since seen a GP who prescribed codeine, ibuprofen and Panadol to relieve this pain. I m on my third dose and the pain still persists. I m doing light arm raises & massage which doesn t seem to penetrate the source. What else can I do?

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level.
For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy. Take balanced diet
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
