Back pain, leg pain, neck pain, shoulder blades pain, restlessness, lack of sleep. What can treat the pain?
Patient: Could I be tested for ms if I asked my doctor ? Due to the pain I have suffered for almost 6 years . What test would they do?  I could cry every day with the pain to my legs feet , left side a quarter the way up my back, pain running across the way. My neck and across the left shoulder also aches. Iam not a person that complains very much and I have been to the doctor several times over the years. I don't sleep very well and the pain gets me up. Iam more restless lying down. I walk round the walls in the morning to get my legs moving then I just have to get on with it. Would you please help me ? I would be so grateful. Iam in a great deal of pain this morning and have had very little sleep and have been crying. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to HCM,  Thanks for writing to us. Your symptoms are likely to be due to nerve root compression  due to disc protrusion. A follow up MRI scan will help in confirming the findings. Such symptoms are usually taken care of by Methylcobalamin supplements which you can take after consulting your orthopedician For this condition you have to do stretching & strengthening exercises in which you have to stretch tight muscle & strengthen weakened ones which will alleviate stress on facet joint and disc. Meanwhile for pain control take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.  Dr Saurabh Gupta.
