CanNot Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Hello, a couple of days ago I went to a Thai massage. Now I got pain in the left neck and shoulder plate. I also developed tingling and numbness on my left hand. Im getting worried and want to have it checked. Can you recommend a doctor to consult, if possible in bumrungrad as they have all my records etc. Thank you in advance.

Thailand Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 As they have your records Bumrungrad would appear to be the right place to go and ask? I am sure they could recommend a specialist? Sounds like a trapped nerve but maybe better to check 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I would suggest before you go that route of paying, to try a number of very simple exercises that may help or even remove your problem. You tube has many. Here is an example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I had vertebrae pain for one month after a Thai massage. Only foot massage now, but even then they will stretch hamstrings and achilles as if you are a 20 year old got to tell them what not to do. OP, I would get some Ibuprofen and take it for a week before I jump to the hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were just pain I'd agree but the numbness and tingling is worrying and warrants seeing a doctor now as there may be nerve entrapment.

proton Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Would not have a Thai massage for free, nearly crippled by one many years ago, too many are not qualified even if they do have a bit of paper with Wat Po on it. I stick to those chairs at central. Edited June 10, 2023 by proton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Can be a prolapse, and therefore the tingling numb feeling in your arm. Be careful to do exercises for awhile, and do not go to a chiropractor! Medication can help for awhile, and naproxen have been good for me when I had my inflammation due to several prolapses, but bear in mind it can take time before the numbness goes away. A specialist is necessary and most likely a MRI check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeBob Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 neurologist, obviously. heard many scary stories about crippled people after "innocent and beneficial for your health" thai massage. simply put - stay away from it as far as possible, just like avoiding street food (actually any). What's in common? they have no clue what exactly they are doing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanNot Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 Thanks for all the helpful comments. I followed the suggestion to wait a bit and took ibuprofen. After a couple of days I feel better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
