What cause enormous pain the right arm which moves towards neck?
Patient: I feel this enormous pain in my right arm . On a scale from 1 to 10 I would say it is 9 to 10 ,It also. feels so heavy that I can hardly lift it up . The pain is now moving towards my neck. Blood work show inflamtion .I have been put on antibiotiques a few times but nothing works . What could be causing this ? Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to cervical radiculopathy or a pinched nerve.It occurs when irritation of the nerves originating in the spinal cord in the neck causes pain to radiate down the arm.I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also recommend to avoid arm movements that can trigger the pain. Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards!
