Suggest treatment for pain in upper arm and spine
Patient: I have pain in my left upper arm. There is some pain in upper spine also. Seen doctors several times. They advised physiotherapy (Hot pack, IFT and exercise ) and muscle relaxant ointments and Etoshine MR tablets. Pain reduces a bit after physiotherapy for 3-4 weeks but again reappears. Need some advice. Doctor: Hello,  Since the symptoms are getting recurrent a correct diagnosis of your condition is necessary.   This way treatment ways should be clear. Degenerative spine disease, herniated disc disease, spondylolisthesis, etc. are conditions to consider in cases like yours.  A neurological examination and cervical spine MRI are necessary.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
