Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing varying degrees of pain in my shoulder and upper limbs, which has been persistently or intermittently worsening. At night, the pain in my limbs becomes particularly noticeable during movement. There are sensory disturbances in the brachial plexus distribution area, muscle atrophy, reduced tendon reflexes, and autonomic nerve disorders. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they diagnosed it as brachial plexus neuritis.What kind of help is needed: The correct approach to treating the symptoms of brachial plexus neuritis.
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to preventive measures in daily life: Pay attention to a balance between work and rest, maintain correct posture, and avoid overloading when carrying things. It is advisable to use a hardboard bed and always maintain the physiological curve of the spine. Avoid cold and dampness, quit smoking, and control alcohol consumption. Regularly strengthen the muscles of the waist and back to enhance the stability of the lumbar spine. During treatment, you must not stay up all night playing poker or mahjong, nor can you take long car rides. If you need to travel long distances, you should take a sleeper train or bus. These are symptoms that may be caused by overexertion, and they may interfere with your condition. Rest immediately, and it is generally necessary to consult a doctor for advice and guidance on specialized nerve nutrition treatment. Basic B12 anesthesia can also be tried.
