I had an upper endoscopy today and had biopsies and dialation. Yes my tummy kills and throat too, but what is scaring me is that the left side if my neck is very painful and stiff. Wasn t like this before. and I m pretty sure this was on the list of things to watch out for... But I really don t want to go to the e r.... is this rare or is it OK?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are having cervical spondylitis. In this condition there is nerve compression in the spine and that causes pain and tingling and numbness in shoulder and hand.
I would like to suggest you to follow these stages.
1.Tablet Pregabalin and Methylcobalamine tablet daily.
2.Soft cervical collar.
3Intermittent cervical traction exercises.
4. Avoid using very high pillow.
I hope these steps will help you.:Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
