For the last few days, I have been experiencing sharp neck and shoulder pain and what ever I try pain killers, Voltarol, Fenbid Gel, Heatwraps they do not work. I am now in some pain and I cannot see a way out.
JA: How long have you been using Voltaren? Has it helped at all?
Customer: Peter Halliday
JA: Got it. Have you seen a doctor about the shoulder pain?
Customer: Cannot speak to him until Wednesday
JA: Thank you so much for your time. Finally, is there anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
Customer: I have recently had a back operation and I am a diabetic.

Thanks for uisng Just Answer

You have muscle spasms and need medication such as Diazepam that would help as muscle relaxant

This can be taken along with stronger painkillers like cocodamol and naproxen

Sorry its too late to take calls tonight

If you're in that much pain, then you should be attending A+E for the medication I've suggested

Hello,
It seems the professional has left this conversation. This happens occasionally, and it's usually because the professional thinks that someone else might be a better match for your question. I've been working hard to find a new professional to assist you with your question, but sometimes finding the right professional can take a little longer than expected.
I wonder whether you're OK with continuing to wait for an answer. If you are, please let me know and I will continue my search. If not, feel free to let me know and I will cancel this question for you.
Thank you!
