It is quite common for a minor sprain to take a few weeks to fully heal. Since the Moov ointment hasn't fully resolved it, you might find relief by switching to a topical gel containing diclofenac or ibuprofen. These generic anti-inflammatory gels work directly at the site to reduce swelling and pain. Gently massage it onto the area two to three times daily. Additionally, try to rest the leg, apply a cold compress, and keep it elevated when possible. If the pain worsens or doesn't improve in another week, please have it checked by a doctor.

What could be causing my right arm to be so painful and stiff that I cannot lift it past shoulder level, move it across my body, or sleep at night because the pain gets worse?

Your symptoms, particularly the limited movement and nighttime pain, are quite characteristic of a condition called adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as 'frozen shoulder,' or possibly a rotator cuff issue. These conditions are very common and highly treatable. For temporary relief, warm compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help. Please consult a healthcare professional or a physical therapist for an accurate diagnosis and a personalized recovery plan.

What could be causing my persistent neck pain and stiffness that only gets temporary relief from a pain-relief spray and massage, and do I need to see a neurologist?

Since massage and pain-relief sprays (which often contain topical medicines like diclofenac) only offer temporary relief, the cause could be muscle strain, poor posture, or minor joint wear in your neck. You generally do not need a neurologist unless you experience symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness spreading down your arms or hands. I recommend starting with your primary care doctor or a physical therapist. They can safely evaluate your neck and guide you toward long-term relief.

What are the best treatment or medication options for sudden, severe back pain triggered by bending down that makes it hard to walk straight, especially since Moov spray only provided temporary relief?

It can be very distressing, but please be reassured that acute back strains are very common and highly treatable. Since the Moov spray only provided temporary relief, you may benefit from oral medications. An over-the-counter anti-inflammatory generic drug like ibuprofen can help reduce swelling and ease the pain. Additionally, a doctor might prescribe a muscle relaxant to help you walk more comfortably. For now, try applying gentle heat to relax the muscles, avoid bending, and rest on a supportive surface.

Are the prescribed medications Deflazacort 6 mg and Kymoslvfioh, along with applying Moov, the right treatment for my year-long recurring right wrist and thumb pain and sudden weakness when lifting heavy objects, which my doctor mentioned is due to a nerve issue?

Your doctor's prescription is a very appropriate approach for nerve-related inflammation. Deflazacort is a corticosteroid that helps reduce nerve swelling, while Kymoslvfioh helps ease tissue inflammation. Applying Moov provides direct, localized pain relief. Since you are experiencing weakness, it is highly recommended to avoid heavy lifting to prevent further nerve strain. This treatment plan is a safe and effective way to help your wrist heal, but please follow up with your doctor if the weakness persists.

What can I do to treat sudden back pain caused by exercising if over-the-counter pain relief creams are not working?

I recommend resting your back and applying a cold pack for 15 to 20 minutes at a time to reduce inflammation. Over-the-counter oral medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can also help manage the pain and swelling. Gentle, light stretching can promote recovery once the acute pain begins to ease, but please avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for now. If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs, please consult a doctor.

Is Moov harmful or poisonous if accidentally used as toothpaste and rinsed out immediately?

Accidental use of Moov pain relief ointment as toothpaste is a common mistake and is not poisonous if you rinsed your mouth out immediately. The active ingredients, like methyl salicylate and menthol, can cause a temporary burning sensation or mild irritation in your mouth, but immediate, thorough rinsing prevents any harmful absorption into your system. Just drink a few glasses of water to help flush out any remaining trace taste. If you experience any persistent nausea, vomiting, or severe mouth irritation, please consult a doctor.
