I have wave of intense radiating pain that starts with a cramping sensation in my mid back and then goes down both arms to my elbows it lasts for a couple of minutes. this has happened a total of 4 times. the first 2 times it went thru the chest as well and felt as if I was being crushed. that one lasted for about 15 minutes. I have had pancreatitis 3 times and this really worries me. I am an over weight, diabetic 42 years old female
Hi there. You could be having nerve pinching and muscle spasm over the upper back and neck. You can apply hot water bottle to the painful areas for relief. Take painkillers. Avoid weight lifting. Consult your Orthopedic surgeon for proper physical examination and diagnosis to guide on the treatment protocol.
