What Causes Severe Pain In The Right Shoulder And Arm?
Dear Doctor I am feeling severe pain in my right shoulder and arm. Last month I have consulted a Ortho specialist and I was told that this is due to muscle dislocation and prescribed a tablet for 10 days. It was effective and for the last few days I am feeling terrible pain in my right hand. Kindly advice
Taking NSAIDs (local or oral) and regular physiotherapy may reduce your symptoms. But, for long term management, I will suggest getting the following investigations done-
1. Xray CS spine
2. MRI/CT of the shoulder joint.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Tanmoy Roy, General & Family Physician
