Hi Doc, whenever I reach out for something , I get a sharp pain in the upper quadrant of my back,,near the mid - spine and below the right shoulder. How can I get rid of this pain? Should I treat with heat or cold or a combination and at what interval and for how long?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get her vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation (weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk and milk product, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. I think your query answered.
