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.
What Causes Severe Pain And Soreness In Neck And Shoulder After EGD?
Had and upper EGD this morning. Everything went well. Small gastric polyp removed. However, my neck and upper shoulders are sore and even once in a while I have a shooting pain. I think this is probably due to positioning during the procedure. Any thoughts?
thank-you for providing the brief description of your history.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment of you is advised.
As the pain is in the shoulder and neck you can aspect this due to the position. As it is postural pain you should be fine in a day or two.
Also, if the pain goes longer, taking the help of a physical therapist you will have relief of pain and also strength in the muscles of the neck and shoulder.
