What Is The Treatment For Neck Pain?

My husband is having severe pain with his neck, his right shoulder down his arm and elbow, the back of his left leg is swollen and hurts extremely bad. He has been to two orthopedic doctors and neither one has helped him. He was in such severe pain, he took a lot of Aleve and it caused him to have bleeding ulcers and he almost died with losing hsi blood. His blood count was down to 5 when I got him to the hospital. The doctors says it is arthritis but they have not been able to help him get any relief. He cannot take any medicine with asprin because they said the Aleve has aspririn and that is waht caused the bleeding ulcer. We are trying to find a doctor that can help him.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in wrist and shoulder.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

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.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
