Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Constant Pain Behind The Neck And Back?
My 90 year old Mother is in constant pain in her neck and back. She also has jumpy legs and feels like she wants to jump out of her skin. The doctor took her off of Vicodin( Hydrocodine ) and gave her Epidurals. They haven t helped. She can t sleep. Would taking Vicodin interfere with the shots she has had?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my clinical experience, this indicates possible nerve compression at cervical spine and lumbar spine level from spondylotic changes. I recommend to undertake an MRI of the whole spine for best possible evaluation and guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
