My daughter has had substantial back pain off and on for years, getting worse with progressive, and intermittent, neurologic symptoms including numbness, tingling and inability to use upper extremity along with progressive nerve pain into shoulder and now into upper arm. Also having visual aura which is new today, now resolved. She is out of town for business and wondering if she can wait to pursue medical care until after she gets home in a week or two. Family history of progressive muscular dystrophy, undiagnosed from ~50-75 yrs ago.
Hello, As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or diclofenac for pain relief.  If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
