Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain?

In July 2013 I had 2 3mg Celestone injections 9 days apart in my trap muscle on the left side to help with cervical neck pain. After the 2nd injection..approximately 8 hours later..my left arm was extremely painful. The next few days I had pain and swelling in my joints in my arms and legs. I went back to the pain management physician who said I had developed neuropathy. Today, the pain remains in the trap..neck and down my arm. Is this a Guiliian Barre reaction? What can I do for this unbearable pain?

Hello,

Guillian-Barre is unlikely. Most probably it will be neuropathic pain associated with nerve root compression or irritation. Drugs like gabapentin will be effective. Consult a neurologist and he will direct you accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
