Suffering With Back, Neck, Shoulder And Wrist Pain. Taking Co-codamol, No Effect. Suggestion
I am suffering with back, neck, shoulder and now wrist pain. The pains are as if I have pulled a muscle in these areas apart from in my wrist which is painful in my joint. I have been taking co-codamol, but doesn't seem to be taking any effect. This pain has been coming and going for the last 6 months, and goes as quickly has it comes.

Hi
It could be coming from nerve compression in the cervical spine (trapped nerve). but also could be due to arthritis in either neck or arm.
you can add ibuprofen to the co-codamol if no contraindication.
MRI scan of the cervical spine will be useful in making the diagnosis
kind regards
