IN SEPTEMBER 2014, I WAS HAVING SEVERE PAIN IN MY RIGHT SHOULER THAT WOULD RADIATE INTO MY BACK AND DOWN MY ARM INTO MY HAND. AN MRI WAS PERFORMED AND SHOWED IMPINGEMENT OF THE C7 ROOT BY A BULGING DISC AT C7 AND ALSO SOME BULGING AT C6. I WAS PLACED ON ORAL PREDNISONE AND GIVEN A STEROID INJECTION. APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO SEE NEUROSURGEON. BY THE TIME OF MY APPOINTMENT PAIN WAS GONE AND FELT MUCH BETTER. DISCUSSED OVER PHONE AND WAS TOLD TO TREAT CONSERVATIVELY AND LET HIM KNOW IF FLAIRED UP AGAIN. I NEVER SAW THE SURGEON ONLY SPOKE WITH OFFICE STAFF. MY PROBLEM NOW IS A STABBING IN MY BACK AT MY RIGHT SHOULDER BLADE. ONCE IT STARTS IT IS CONSTANT. TYPING SEEMS TO AGGRAVATE IT MORE THEN ANYTHING. NO SHOULDER PAIN OR ARM PAIN. IS THIS MY NECK CAUSING THIS PAIN.
Hello, I have studied your case. In cervical spine disc bulge you can get relief with local steroid injection shot. Continue your Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Epidural injection shot may help if no relief. You can consult orthopedic doctor for this. Hope this answers your query.
