I have 24 years. For about seven months I suffer severe pain in my left upper limb, which at times includes part of the area left side and that side of the back.
After several tests (MRI, elbow, shoulder and cervical radiographs in the same places, apart from an electromyogram in the left arm), the findings of the orthopedic surgeon are not present any problem that way.
I lost muscle mass in both the arm and in the back but the doctor says he does not seem serious and I guess it’s because they use the arm because of pain. Only I calm ibuprofen pain that is unbearable at times. His recommendation is to visit the neurologist, but the truth is that I’m a bit concerned are still seven months and I miss the pain. Some clues to the diagnosis:
- In October I had a car accident. I got behind and suffered a severe whiplash in the neck. I have looked at the vertebrae and I have found nothing.
- That I broke my arm 10 years ago. Was the humerus. I had cramps for three months and it seems that was good, although since emtonces lost a bit of mobility and strength in that arm.
- In view of the data that you sent me, I think the most logical thing would be that it study a neurologist and, if he sees no problem, you should request that they study and treated in a Pain Unit.
Anyway, and for peace of mind, a picture of pain that is relieved with ibuprofen, there may be a consequence of a serious problem.
