Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have pain in shoulder and entire arm. Dr said pinched nerve in my neck. In extreme pain. IV drug user. Arm has swelling, spasms, feels like pins and needles. Went to two different emergency rooms and they gave me pain pills and muscle relaxers and nothing helped. What could this problem be?
If it's a neve impingemnt we need to confirm it by ncv and scans and then release the nerve. For all of this, you need to meet up with a good neurosurgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Harshita, Ophthalmologist
