What Causes Chronic Shoulder Pain Travelling Through The Arm?

Hi Dr., I ve been chiropractic therapy for over 5 weeks now due to my recent car accident. However, after a week of treatment, I m experiencing on my right lower shoulder back real bad pain that travels through my right arm. I already told my chiropractor about it and have tried many treatment for it but until now I m still having the pain. It seems getting worst for me. The x-ray didn t really show anything in that area. Can you please help me determine what could this be?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Good to know that there is no fracture, the pain can be due to sprain, strain, pinched nerve or damaged nerve & hence you feel the discomfort. For pain you can take Ibuprofen or NSAIDS (combiflam). You ca use some pain relief spray (Volini). This will give you temporary relieve. Visit a Neurosurgeon & get examined, you will have to get some investigations done to rule out any developing nerve problem. Get diagnosed & treated to prevent complications in later in life.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,     
Dr. Nupur K.
