Question: Hi I am a 34 year old female with osteopenia due to menapause for the past ten years. The night before last night I fell at work. My foot became entangled in the computer wires somehow and I fell pretty hard to the ground. My knees and the palms of my hands caught my fall. As the day went on my pain got worse in both ankles, upper back, chest and arms. I felt like I had whiplash. Now I wake up in the middle of the night with my right arm completely numb and in extereme pain in my whole upper body of my back and arms. Now I find it difficult to lift my right arm above my head or even to use the mouse for my computer. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. I've been taking Diclofen, with minimal relief. Do you think it's worse than what it seems? Should I be seeing a neurosurgeon or some other specialist? Thank you.

Thanks so much for your reply Dr. Chaudhari. My neck is sore to the touch and I don't have any "new" symptoms with my legs. Being that I have MS, sometimes it's hard to tell. However, I do notice that I feel some burning sensations in my left scapula region to my upper arm area. I will suggest the xrays to my PMD. Thanks again for your insight!
