I have acute pain In the back of my neck. My arm and shoulder also aches. I have been to the doctors and have ibuprofen 800 gm but I am still in pain. I went to a chiropractor yesterday ans she said I would be better in a couple of days. Now my mouth feels strange with my lips feeln slightly swollen. I have now had to come home from work. Even with the pain killers I am still aching?
Hithank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned by your symptoms and the history, I can understand that you tried all, and it still pains. So I will recommend taking physical therapy. As it is non-invasive, and also it will help regain the strength in the muscles.Also, to understand here, that painkillers works only for symptomatic relief and also, chiropractor can help is there is any facet joint issues. What appears from your history is, there is obvious diagnosis made, also taking ortho advice is obvious, and an MRI will help insight of the soft tissues of the spine. Post which proper medication for symptomatic relief and also physical Therapy will be advised. In my clinical practice, I see patients similar symptoms. A combination of proper medication and physical therapy helps in my clinical practice. I will recommend you the same. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
