I m 50 and just been diagnosed type 2 diabetes. I ve comp!etely changed my diet and exercise daily. I m on Glucophage 500. Diabetes is under control. However I have a constant pain on my right shoulder. What can I do about it or what medication can I take. I m from South Africa
Hello, Pain that you have on the right shoulder may not be due to diabetes (Unless it is being proved clinically). It could be due to an arthritic condition, frozen shoulder, muscular spasm, these conditions need to be ruled out or differentiated, till then you can try tablet Acetaminophen plus Chlorzoxazone three times in a day. Shoulder pain needs medical attention and MRI is the golden test to know the underlying cause, in my opinion for a correct diagnosis, you can see the orthopedic surgeon till then you can try the suggested medicines. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
