What Could Be Done For The Pain In The Left Shoulder Down To Elbow After An Allergy Attack?

Hi there. Couple of days ago I had a severe allergy attack. The allergy attack lasted roughly 2 days. During that time I blew my nose pretty hard. I noticed that I have intense pain in the left shoulder down to the elbow. Also the grip with my left hand is weaker. If I blow my nose, a relatively small amount of pain will be felt in the shoulder upper arm and elbow areas of the left arm. What is going on with my arm and what can I do about it? Thanks! David

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi going by your description I am inclined to think in terms of cervical disc pressing on one of the nerve roots in neck. I suggest you go for a MRI to arrive at a diagnosis. I would recommend pain killers , muscle relaxants pregabalin and physiotherapy including neck exercises.
