What Causes Pain In Knee, Hand And Shoulder?

I have pain initial in my right Knee that is slowly growing to right shoulder and hand. I think it will be related to do with computer/laptop usage. I am doing my physiotherapy and just started putting the neck belt. I am worried, should I do some additional test or take some medicines?

hi,

as mentioned by you, about your symptoms it is prior needed to have a thorough assessment of you. Also, getting treated symptomatically will provide temporary relief in the physiotherapy department. also to understand the root cause of injury is more important for the better help in the future to avoid any workstation related injuries.

Also as you mentioned, for shoulder and wrist pain an MRI of the neck and the NCV will help input. Since the pain in shoulder and wrist can be due to two reasons. One is nerve impingement in the cervical spine or may be carpal tunnel compression. Also for knee, need to check if you lower spine is fine or any knee ligament issue is there.

Also sometimes the pain understanding is more important which helps to find the root cause. Like the nature of pain, like the intensity of pain, the frequency of pain, the position in which pain is more and the position the pain is relived.

For more questions you can ask me directly.
