Brachialgia-Causes,symptoms and cure

Brachialgia is the name given to disease which causes pain in the upper arm.It can be caused by diabetes,injury,arthritis or even old age.This pain arises when the size of the vertebrate and spinal canal reduces and spinal cord passing through it gets pinched resulting in pain,stillness in neck and arm.The disease can be detected by simple MRI. As regards the treatment, it is three pronged.At the first stage, it can be treated by pain killers and sessions with physiotherapist.In the second stage under the guidance of an experienced spine surgeon by a C arm X-ray fluoroscope,the place indicated by MRI scan is injected to give relief.Ninety seven percent of the patients get relief at the first two stages itself.The balance three percent require surgery.But they should also not worry as surgeries give excellent returns and patients after a while can lead normal life.Stay happy;stay healthy.
