Suggest Treatment For Severe Body Pain And Fever

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Mar 2017
Question: I am a normally healthy 47 year old woman. I have not felt well for about a month and a half. Head and neck aches, body aches. Very tired all the time. Sometimes I get a fever. And most recently, a burning sensation from the neck up. Like how wind burn feels. I already did a round of antibiotics. Any thoughts?

Brief Answer:
Ok

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
By the description of your symptoms it looks like there is a disturbance in your nervous system.
It could be either due to any nerve getting entrapped due to a disc extrusion or generalised neuropathy due to B12 deficiency.
And about the temperature do you just feel feverish due to the weakness or do you have a recorded temperature.
Do you have any burning sensation in the back of the neck or hands?do you have any tingling sensation in the hands?
Does the pain go down to your hands?
I would recommend you to get a x ray of the cervical spine AP and lateral and serum B12 levels based on this we could initiate the treatment.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
