Symptom narrative

Nagging pain on right side started right before the date of 02/20/2026. On 02/21, started ramping up and then went in to zcute (and I mean acute) 7 out of 10 unrelenting spasms that went through my neck, in to my scapula, shoulders, triceps and just below the elbow on the ulnar side. Nothing set it off. It just started up so quickly right before the snowstorm on 02/21/2026. I don?t know how I made it through that weekend until I had the ortho appointment. He also assumed shoulder, but shoulder looked fine. So he took a neck X-ray. Degenerative rediculopathy (which is common at our age). Said I probably had a herniation(s)/pinched nerve. Sent me off with steroids, pain meds, PT, massage, chiropractic and MRI consult. Pain and spasms unbearable and had to request pain med - given Tramadol. Slow to get better and PT/Massage therapy/chiropractic care started. MRI date: 03/05/2026.
