Severe neck and shoulder pain

2017-05-03 12:31:55
Dear Sir/Madam, I am suffering with severe neck and shoulder pain. Also I have pricking sensation from shoulder to wrist(below the neck backside). When I am working with the system or being in same position for some time the pain is increasing way too much. I have consulted an Orthopedist, and as suggested by doctor took an X-ray. Doctor confirmed that there is a very slight deformation of bone and it is very initial stage of Cervical spondylosis. I was given muscle relaxants for a week an ointment and nerve tablets. Also doctor suggested few cervical exercises. After the treatment also I am not alright. I am getting severe pain in my neck and shoulders even if I am not working with my system. I am scared this might be something major. As suggested by few of my friends I am planning to go for an MRI(might be the case that a nerve got pressed because of slight disc slip or deformation). Please suggest if I need to go to Neuro or Ortho specialists for this. Thanks & Regards, Ramya

Hello there Well mostly from your symptoms and the way your treatment progressed after the xray it very much seems to be the case of early cervical spondylosis...also the pattern of radiating pain which you mentioned is very much classic of cervical radiculopathy. Have you had your calcium,vit D3 and B12 levels checked? Do get back with your xray and report so a proper guidance can be given...before you go in for MRI. Regards
