I have a pain in my shoulder blade that radiates to my ear?

Question

Hello, I have a pain in my shoulder blade that radiates to my ear. It feels like a pinched nerve. I took platinum rivals to relieve the pain but this morning I have red itchy patches and spots. Should I go see a doctor? Is it an allergy to the medication? Thank you *Robax platinum Thank you. Finally it's shingles. Have a nice day

Hello, thank you for your question! If you suspect that Robax is the cause of the rash (it contains ibuprofen and methocarbamol), it would be better to stop it, and while waiting to confirm this possible allergy, to avoid these medications in the future. In any case, I suggest that you go to a pharmacy to show the lesions you are reporting, to get a better idea. For your pain problem, heat is suggested, to relax the affected structures (hot water towel, magic bag or hot water bottle applied for 10-15 minutes at a time) if the skin is not irritated . Stretching exercises and a review of your posture and movements may be beneficial. Physiotherapists are the best professionals to treat these injuries and prevent them in the future. I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me Tom Samaha, pharmacist Good day to you too, get well soon!
