Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Shoulder Due To Pinched Nerve
My husband has a pinched nerve. Has lots of pain in his shoulder and he can t open his hand. The doctor has given him different things. He s going to try a nerve medication. Do you think that could help. We re still waiting for the insurance company to approve for him to get an MRI. Thank yo, Sherry Lewis..
You can try Gabapentin which is quite effective for neuropathic pain as in your case. You can also try Tramadol or Oxycodone. If pain persist despite taking routine analgesics, it is better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required to assess the extent of the lesion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
