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.
Severe Pain In The Armpit And Breast Area After Twisting The Hand. Difficulty In Sleeping Due To Pain. Cure?
I am a 60 year old female in generally good health. 2 days ago I was sitting in a chair that had side arms on it. I lean over the left side to pick something up and felt a slight painful twist (pop) under the left armpit left lower breast area. It hurt immediately and I had pain in certain positions. Last night while sleeping I turned over and while leaning on my left arm the pain woke me up and intensified. I now can not find any good position laying down. What can I do to help this.
It looks to me that you are having muscle spasm. I would recommend you muscle relaxant like myoril. . Also apply diclofenac ointment. Avoid lying down on that side.
