Suggest treatment for sharp pain in the neck , groin and leg
Patient: I have a sharp pain in my right side of my neck and in my legs that comes on and can be relieved with advil. With the pain I also feel feverish but I have no temperature. I get chills when the pain comes and the I get flush when the pain begins to subside until the point where it goes away because the advil is working. I have been taking advil for these symptoms for about a week now and cant seem to shake it. Occasionally I feel a sharp pain in my groin area and in my legs as well during the time when it flares up.
