Diagnosed With PAV Due To Leg Pain And Numbness. Taking Cilostazul. Have Shoulder And Arm Pain. Due To Medicine?
I am male and 56 years old and have recently been diagnosed with PAV in May due to numbness and pain in both my legs.
I am seeing a vascular specialist and I'm schedule for an angioplasty with an aortil stint with I cast stint at the end of July. I am currentley taking the following medications:
Cilostazul (100 mg)
Simvastatin (20mg)
Bupropion (150 mg)
I have recently been experiencing severe neck and shoulder pain/spasms and numbness in arms.
Went to physician last Tuesday and he subscribed:
Metaxalone (800mg) as needed
Hydroco/Apap (5-325mg)
Went to Chiropractor on Wednesday and Fri. and they did adjustment for muscle spasms.
That seemed to work some but still have sharp pain in neck, during night when trying to sleep.
Was wondering if 1 of the meds i am taking may be causing my pain in neck/upper back?
Thanks for your opinion and time.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
All the above mentioned drugs are safe and most potent pain killer.
2nd point I want to tell you that no drugs ( above mentioned ) is responsible for your neck pain.
Cervical spondylitis amy be the cause.
Consult one more physician and get his ( 2nd ) opinion and deal accordingly.
Good luck.
