I had typhoid 30 days back, completed course. Since then I had weakness which is recovered gradually. Since I was on bed rest, I use to get left shoulder pain comes and goes, severity from mild to moderate. From last 5 days it was paining continuously, it increases pain when I wake up in morning or stand up after sitting, taking support to back. There is no restricted movement or pointed pain but it feels heavy always and pains sometime. When moderate pain raises in back side of shoulder, shoulder blade, and just below armpit near shoulder blade, I feel heaviness in triceps, left trapezius and in palm cousin just opposite side to thumb. 2 days back I met orthopedic doctor, he has given me nucoxia MR, cortrik 6. Twice a day in 12 hr interval for 5 days. Its only one day I taken doses of both. I observed increased hunger, slight swelling on face and dark circles. I have got tested ECG, and different blood tests, ECG was good, vitamin D was deficiency found. Please suggest something.
