Suggest treatment for severe shoulder blade pain and arm pain
Patient: Hi, I have pain in my left shoulder blade that radiates down the left side of my back followed by pain in my left breast with nipples getting hard. Pain also radiates to my shoulder , neck and down arm and in hand and elbow. I have seen the neurologist and have had MRI of cervical spine ,and EMG. What could it be?? Doctor: Hi there.It could be a pinched nerve due to a slipped disc in the neck or degenerative cervical spine. Avoid bending neck forwards, lifting weight on the back. Apply hot water bottle to areas that hurt. Consume pain killer, muscle relaxant combination like Tablet Diclofenac + Thiocolchicoside to give relief. Even taking Tablet Pregabalin + Methylcobalamine will help in radiating pain. Get your MRI and EMG reports read by an Orthopaedic surgeon pr Spine surgeon and then treatment will be decided accordingly.
