Is it safe to treat symptoms like left shoulder pain, hand numbness after waking up, and an occasional pulling pain in the back and ribs that causes a sinking feeling with Pentocid and Flexon, or do these symptoms require immediate medical attention?
While Pentocid (pantoprazole) and Flexon (ibuprofen/paracetamol) can temporarily ease acidity and body aches, they may not address the underlying cause of your shoulder pain, hand numbness, or that pulling, sinking feeling. Because these symptoms can relate to nerve compression, posture, or other issues, it is best not to self-treat. I gently advise you to seek a medical evaluation from a doctor soon to get an accurate diagnosis and a safe, tailored treatment plan.
