Hi. My brother has been experiencing pain in his upper back in the neck area and also numbness in his left hand from past few days. His age is 34 and is quite normal in health otherwise. His Blood pressure also seems to be normal. Is this symptom of something or taking pain killer is okay?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think your brother is suffering from cervical spine pain with radiation to left upper limit may be simple muscular pain. Treatment is Rest in position of comfort, NURSING GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE 20 MG before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. Second possibility may be disc prolapse for which MRI cervical spine is needed to be done. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.
