Did ECG xtray blood test to check if it is a heart problem everything normal please help he is in too much pain please thanks
Hi, Warm wishes. Such type of severe pain is seen in cases of neuroradiculpathy arising out of a pinched spinal nerve in the cervical vertebra. This causes severe excruciating pain in shoulder and ribs. If heart related problems have been ruled out, then I would suggest you to get an MRI of the cervical spine done to rule out a disc prolapse. Analgesic, muscle relaxant tablets with methylcobalamin and pregabalin will help. Thank You. I hope the answer was useful to you.
