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.
My daughter is 24 yrs old. She has been feeling unwell for a few weeks now - tired, sick in the mornings (she s not pregnant), nauseous during the day at times, fatigue. Last evening she developed a pain below her left shoulder blade and her left arm felt heavy for a time although that resolved. The pain was quite severe and she took ibuprofen which may have helped a bit. She remembers the previous evening she felt agitated and when she was sitting just didn t know where to put her legs. She wouldn t see a dr last night. She slept for 8 hrs and felt better on waking but now 2 hrs later has returned to bed feeling sick and very tired. Her back has started feeling painful again. All she says is that she feels really unwell. She drinks plenty of water and has been urinating. Bowels seem ok too. Was worried about her heart as she tends to play around with her diet ie goes on stupid water diets and restricts her calories then gives up after a few days and binges.
As per your symptom and history there is possibility of acute muscle spasm in neck or there can be cervical disc compression. Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain associated with it.
For these symptoms muscle relaxant with analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your treating doctor. Till time take rest and continue analgesic available over the counter take rest, and hot fomentation. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. You may need to do MRI cervical spine if symptoms persist. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
