Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Elbow And Wrist Due To Pinched Nerve
I have a pinched nerve in my left shoulder blade, somewhere. It hurts like hell and sends a constant pain down through my left elbow and into my wrist. I have been taking paracetamol and neurophen and have just started voltaren 12.5 today (havent taken the other pain killers). Is there anything else I can do.

hi,
according to your symptoms it's look like nerve entrapment case. have you done MRI of your lt shoulder? if not, get it done. MRI ll help to know extent of nerve entrapment and location also. depending upon that we can have options about surgical repair or intra articular steroid injections, orthopedic surgeon ll take a call regarding that. till that time u can take paracetamol, and tramadol if pain is severe. if MRI seems ok, then active physiotherapy can be done to get symptomatic relief
