Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Back And Shoulders

I have recently been having some moderate to severe back and shoulder pain, I believe it s due to a broken collar bones years ago. I have tried massaging, ibuprofen has limited effects, as well as various exercises from physical therapy but it just doesn t seem to help. Are there any other solutions I can try?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello

I have understood your symptoms,

There is radiating pain from your shoulder and back. Usually cervical disc bulge leads to nerve compression and subsequently radicular pain in your shoulder.
Nerve compression also can be due to broken collar bone,MRI neck and shoulder will help.

You are already taking good medicine but there is no relief so I will advise you physiotherapy like Interferential therapy and auto traction for early recovery.
Static and against resistance guided exercise therapy may help in this case.
You can consult physiotherapist for that.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
