What Treatment Is Suggested For Pain In Neck & Left Arm Muscle?
I am 62. A year and a half ago I had a bad virus...afterwords I had very painful stiff muscle pain. Doctor has given me pregabalin and co-codamol. My neck and right arm are very still and my right arm has pain. My left arm can get stiff but not as bad. I exercise every day and keep myself active. Also I am overweight. I now find myself slowing down and I am aware my muscles are not very strong. Why after all the medication am I not getting better? The overall muscle pain is better but the pain and stiffness in my right arm is getting worse.

Hello,
The pains in the neck and left arm muscle that you are having is likely to be related to cervical spondylosis. This can be diagnosed after an MRI scan of the cervical spine. Regular neck isometric exercises can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
