Is Total Body Pain Normal During Spondylosis?
Hi. I have been having left sided chest pain, left arm pain, left shoulder pain, mid back and neck pain. I have been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis. I also have scoliosis in my thoracic spine and fractures in my lumbar. Is it normal to have the chest and arm pain from the spondylosis? This has been going on for months and it s making my very anxious all of the time.

Hello,
I would explain that it is necessary checking vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency, which could contribute in this clinical situation. Regarding the pain, I would recommend using a muscle relaxant (flexeril). Physiotherapy is helpful too. If the pain persists, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of adding gabapentine to your therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
