Have An Entrapped Nerve In Shoulder Area, On Tramadol, Hydrocod. What Now?
I feel like I may have an entrapped nerve in cervical neck - right shoulder area. I m looking for a suggestion as to what type of drug can produce quick relief until I get to the Doctor s office tomorrow. I have prescriptions to Tramadol (50mg) and Hydrocod/APAP (5/325), and have tried both in last two days. Neither has produced any relief. I also have Cyclobenzaprine (5mg). MIGHT I WANT TO TRY THIS??? OR, IF NOT Cyclobenzaprine, then are there other drugs you think might be appropriate???

Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your symptoms neck pain can be due to diffuse disc bulge compressing your cervical spine.
Some medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.
Hope this helps. Wish you speedy recovery.
Take care
