Severe Pain In Shoulder, Upper Arm And Chest After Accident. Some Relief With Pain Medicines And Muscle Relaxers
I was involved in a car accident 1-1-14. There was trauma to the left neck area(seat belt), left shoulder, left upper arm, and left upper chest/wall. I have been in pain since the accident, but I have been trying to manage this with the pain meds and muscle relaxers that were prescribed. My pain is sharp sometimes to the upper mid-section of my abdemon also. Please tell me what you think or if this is normal for this kind of trauma. Thank You

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I am so sorry to hear about this accident and the pains you have been having.
I will like too suggest that consult an orthopedic surgeon who would do a proper exam and ask for informative tests so as to map out what the exact problem is. unless we know the problem, we can not adequately manage it.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
