I've been having this pain between my shoulder and elbow on my right arm when I wake up in the morning. It's been happening for the past month or two. I usually sleep on my left side, and I've had some fractured vertebrae diagnosed in my mid-upper back along with osteoporosis. Most of the time, the pain lessens after an hour or two, but today it was really bad. Could this be related to my previous back issues or osteoporosis? What should I do about this?

use zerodal mr and If the pain becomes severe or persists for longer periods, or if you begin to notice symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty moving your arm, its important to seek medical attention immediately, as these could be signs of more serious nerve involvement.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Omnacortil 5 and Wyslone 5. My doctor prescribed Wyslone 5, but the pharmacy only had Omnacortil 5 available. Is there any issue if I go with Omnacortil 5 instead of sticking strictly to the prescription? I'm worried about getting the right treatment.

Both Omnacortil 5 and Wysolone 5 contain the same active ingredient, which is Prednisolone. They are both corticosteroids used to treat various conditions such as inflammation, allergic reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, there should not be a significant difference between the two medications. You can go ahead and use Omnacortil 5 as a substitute for Wysolone 5 as per your doctor's prescription. Just make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor.
