What is the cause of weakness, pain, and numbness in the wrists and arm?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Pain and weakness in the entire arm are related to nerve pressure in the cervical spine. I suggest you follow the instructions below.

1. Avoid lifting heavy weights.

2. Avoid arching your back; instead, bend your knees to pick up something from the floor.

3. Avoid sitting for long hours.

4. Avoid two-wheeler rides.

5. Improve your posture while sitting. Try to sit up with your back straight.

6. Try to get up from your chair every 20 minutes and take a quick walk around, and then continue working. Always sit on a chair with back support.

7. Do not get up suddenly from a sleeping position. Rather, turn to the side and then get up.

8. Take bed rest only if severe pain.

9. Do hot fomentations, locally over the affected area, at least twice daily.

I suggest you take the medicines below.

1. Apply Oxalgin gel (Diclofenac) for local application twice daily.

2. Take a tablet of Pregabalin (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) 75 mg for 15 days before food at 7 PM every day,

3. Take tablet Etoricoxib (Ferric oxide) 60 mg twice daily for 10 days after food.

4. Take a tablet Rabeprazole (Rabeprazole sodium) 20 mg twice daily, 10 days before food.

5. Take tablet Shelcal CT (Calcium) once daily, 30 days before food.

6. Take a tablet of vitamin D (60k) once daily for 10 days, then once a month for 11 months.

Do physiotherapy. Start core strengthening exercises, neck rotations, shoulder shrugs, and shoulder rotations. Start training under a physiotherapist. Physiotherapy should be started once the pain reduces. Avoid jogging, running, and weight-lifting. It can aggravate back problems. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent. Do not take these tablets if you have bronchial asthma.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you for consulting me.
