I am having pain/stiffness on neck and shoulder which seems to be extending to arm as well slowly. I had consulted an orthopedician and had taken an X-ray as well. There wasn t any problem that was detected. Should i persist with Orthopedician for this problem or i should consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for this?
Hi, I recommend further imaging by MRI if you have no problem with your x-rays as it will also show if you have nerve compression which may cause radiating pain towards shoulder and arms may be due to inflammation of your cervical neurovascular bundles or minor herniation. For now, you may start with some physiotherapy, massages with topical gels or even yoga is helpful. Tylenol, muscle relaxants are recommended for such cases.
