Anjali Iyer, a 42-year-old classical violinist...
Anjali Iyer, a 42-year-old classical violinist and music teacher, began experiencing a persistent, sharp, burning pain in her right shoulder and arm six months ago. Initially, she dismissed it as a repetitive strain from long practice sessions. However, the pain intensified, accompanied by a disturbing numbness and weakness in her fingers, making it impossible to hold her bow steady. Her precious daily practice became a source of agony and frustration. After consultations with her primary doctor and an orthopedist yielded no structural cause, she was referred to a neurologist, Dr. Mehta. A detailed neurological exam and an EMG/NCS (electromyography/nerve conduction study) confirmed a diagnosis of brachial neuritis, likely post-viral. Dr. Mehta recommended a multi-pronged approach: a short course of oral corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, referral to a specialized pain management clinic for nerve-pain medication (gabapentin), and immediate physical therapy to prevent muscle atrophy and maintain range of motion. The treatment experience was challenging; the steroids caused mood swings and insomnia, and physical therapy was painful at first. However, Anjali was disciplined and determined. Over 4-6 months of consistent therapy and medication management, the searing pain subsided to a manageable ache, and she gradually regained strength and dexterity. She recently played a simple scale for her students, tears of joy in her eyes. Emotionally, she journeyed from despair and identity crisis, 'If I can't play, who am I?', to a resilient hope. The process taught her patience and a new appreciation for her body's capacity to heal, and she now incorporates gentle yoga into her routine to maintain her health.
