How To Treat The Neck Pain That Radiates Into The Scapula Caused By A Work Injury?

I have neck pain after a work injury that radiates into the scapula on the left side. I had an mri and xrays done and they came back normal. This has been ongoing since may 27, 2012 the day it happened. My question is what else can I do to find out what is going on?

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

As per your symptom and history there is possibility of acute muscle spasm in neck or there can be cervical disc compression.

For these symptoms muscle relaxant with analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your treating doctor.
Till time take rest and continue analgesic available over the counter take rest, and hot fomentation.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
EMG NCV nerve conduction study will help.
