I have nerve compression in my neck causing numbness in my left hand. What medicine should I take for relief?

Asked by Male, 48 · 10 days ago

For nerve compression in the neck (cervical radiculopathy), initial relief for inflammation can be managed with over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen. To target the numbness and nerve pain directly, a doctor may prescribe neuropathic medications such as gabapentin or pregabalin, or a short course of oral corticosteroids to reduce swelling around the nerve. Physical therapy is also highly recommended. Please consult a physician or neurologist for a proper evaluation (such as an MRI) to get a precise prescription. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience progressive weakness in your arm or hand.
