Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had pain in my left arm and upper shoulder for over 6 month. Sometime it is so painful I want to cry , I did lift a wheelchair client and that may have done some damage. I have tried muscle rubs and patches. Nothing seems to help but strong back and body pain relievers. Sometime it hurts to pick up even the smallest item.
I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your arm and fingers pain associated with it.
MRI spine may help in diagnosis. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you are satisfied with answer do not hesitate to rate this answer at end of discussion.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
