Hi, My partner is paralysed and confined to a wheelchair for the last 30 years. We used to encourage her to walk as much as possible using a frame in the house but a fall 2 years ago left her with a broken ankle. Due to this she has not been walking and now she has difficulty taking even two steps.She has also swollen feet and is getting cramp in her legs more often. I was wondering if a circulation booster would be beneficial?
Hi, There is possibility of shoulder pathology that may radiate to arm and chest. The other possibility is muscle spasm that occurs because of taking cold bath after exercising. You need to do warm saline fomentation along with rest, if it is a spasm it will recover in a week. It is the pain persists you need to get a shoulder and neck X-ray and an MRI done to reach a diagnosis. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
