What is the cause of intense pain from neck to lower back?
Patient: I am a 24 year old man. When i sneeze i get this intense pain from my neck down to my lower back and my shoulders down to my upper right arm. Sometimes this pain lasts for 15 plus minutes. I have to stop what ever i am doing because it feels like my bones are crushed. This started about a week ago when i got a cold. Doctor: dear friend thanx for asking question on hcm... see according to your complain, i understood that you have pure muscular spasm due to continuous coughing or might be you had done some intense exercise at gym... or any heavy work done like sudden lifting of heavy weight or else so that your muscle of back may went in to severe spasm so if you do any work like sneezing coughing or dedication or yawning so you may have sensations of pain due to muscular spasm.... but do not worry... this will be temporary in nature within a week you will be alright.... take aceclofenac, paracetamol and chlorzoxazone combination tablet and apply ice for instant relief.... after 4 days go to physiotherapist take ift therapy for 4 more days... do not apply any warm modality....
