What Causes Pain In The Neck And Shoulders?

default
Posted on Wed, 7 Sep 2016
Question: Hi

My neck is in pain and shoulders as well. I have a mild headache and I feel drowsy as if the earth underneath me is moving. I first felt this after a 20 hour flight then after another week when I woke up with a pain in my neck. Two months ago I had a surgery and I opted for an Epidural spinal injection for a C section.
I had a cervical neck problem before
Thanks and waiting for your answer

Brief Answer:
Symptoms are related to cervical disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of cervical problem, most probably pinched nerves in the neck. The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing MRI of cervical spine. You can take pregabalin capsules for pain relief.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
