A member asked:

What can i take for upper shoulder and neck pain and lower back pain all on right side only. have been taking ibuprofen but it is not touching the pain. i've also had three disc removals in my neck and fusion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eval and films: It is proper that you see your surgeon who fused your discs and be evaluated with updated imaging, including flexion/extension x-rays. Top reasons for your neck and shoulder symptoms can include incomplete fusion/facet joint pain, adjacent segment breakdown, incomplete decompression. The lower back may be separate, or compensatory for how you carry yourself after neck fusion.
