I have PSA, 8 years of the arthrities, I m having trouble swinging my right arm, picking up things, grabbing pushing anything, like a button or holding anything hurts all the way up to my shoulder. I m not on my simpoli Scince I lost my insurance , which I m getting back.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be numbness in arm.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
