Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Pain In The Hands
I am experiencing lack of strength and soreness of my forearms from elbow to hands. very weak grip strength and pain in hands also. I have not had any injury and normally have very good strength. It just started about 3 months ago and is not going away
I will advise MRI spine with nerve conduction studies to see for any nerve compression leading to weakness.
Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. If MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution.
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.
