Suggest Treatment For Chronic Shoulder Pain And Hand Pain

Hi, I was in a car accident 3 years ago. I was only treated for my fracture in right hand. I believe I had whiplash and now suffering from chronic pain. I didn t notice anything was wrong at the time. I am being treated for my neck but right collar bone isn t the same as it is on the left. It has a dent close to shoulder and I have shoulder pain. If I get an xray or mri is it possible to show fracture or if something happened? I know something is wrong. Also what are the possibilities of the dent in collar bone. Could I have dislocated shoulder?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic shoulder pain and hand pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle spasm , nerve compression or heart problem like angina . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI along with nerve conduction test and physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , nerve supplement along with physical therapy . For now stay calm , take ibuprofen , apply warm compresses to shoulder and arm , do light stretching exercises under expert or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
