Should I go to the Emergency Room?


Question:
I have had on and off neck pain with shoulder and right arm pain for a couple weeks, with noted weakness in my arm. what should i do?

Answers:
I would suggest getting an appointment with your regular doctor tomorrow, and going in. If you develop symptoms which are life threatening then I would go to the ER, but otherwise they probably won't be able to do much for you.
NO___NO___This is not an emergency. Go to your family doctor. Or go to the local Health Dept.____Or go to a walk-in clinic.

Do NOT abuse the emergency room.
Which arm? Probably should see a doctor soon. Maybe urgent care if you can't get in to see him/her soon.
You should probably make an appointment with your regular doctor first. Or at least talk to an advice nurse and if its an emergency they'll tell you. If not then the doctor will let you know whats up. Hope you feel better!
more than likely u have a pinched nerve in your neck. or u could have brusitis. i would see what tommrow bring and try to lay on heating pad or take some iburprofen. if u are in severe pain than go to the hospital at once they will relieve it with muscle relaxers. but if u can wait till tommorow and call your own md i would wait. hope this helps...
No, it is not life threatening, only a "minor" inconvenience or minor irritation. Your family physician should be able to help you out. In fact, I have that same pain & weakness too, but on the left side. I've been told it could be related to a pinched nerve. But it is probably best to get it checked out (and let me know what your Dr says ok - U can email me). Best of luck to you!
Yes you should go to the doctor. Don't take any chances with the problems you have had. It may be simoething simple but on the otherhand maybe not.
My mom had bad dish in her neck and that happend to her so you sould go to the urgent care however not the emermcy room.
