My 81 year old mother s health is slowly deteriorating. She has had ongoing illness for the last 6 months. She recently hurt her shoulder cleaning the house and now has chronic pain in her left shoulder. The doctor has prescribed panadol for arthritis and I rub her shoulder with Voltaren twice a day. She now is complaining of Shivers and Shakes . What is causing this?
Hello, The shivers could be related to an infection. For this reason, I recommend consulting with her attending physician for a physical exam, a shoulder and chest X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, urine bacterial culture, blood bacterial culture, etc.). You should discuss with her doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
