Patient's question:
No medical history, 18 years old, have been in pain for two years. Left back pain in intermittent attacks, is it called radiating pain? It hurts severely when coughing or hiccuping, and it will not hurt at all if you do not cough. Sometimes it will have intermittent attacks, and it will disappear after a while. Another thing is, I would like to ask if intercostal neuralgia can affect the left arm. I feel that the sense of touch in the left arm is less sensitive than the right side. It feels numb!Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to be cautious as this is a congenital vascular malformation that controls the brachial plexus nerve. In this case, it is necessary to promptly perform multiple Doppler ultrasound examinations, and if necessary, undergo surgical intervention. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular routine, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
