    Have him try these four movements to see if they don't stop the pain. Sit in a kitchen chair and raise the left arm up as high as possible and note the height. Return the arm to the side and now do the right arm. One arm will go up higher so start with that arm. Raise that arm up as high and hard as possible for 30 seconds and then rest for 15 seconds. Repeat that cycle twice more on that arm and then do it on the opposite arm exactly the same way 3 times. Turn the head to the left as far and hard as possible and note the amount of rotation and then do the same to the right. One direction is going to turn further so start in that direction. Turn the head in that direction as hard and far as possible for 30 seconds and then rest for 15. Repeat that twice more and then do the opposite direction exactly the same way 3 times. Now get up and move around. There should be a lessening of pain and more mobility present. Return to the chair and do these last 2 movements but remember not to go into any area that causes pain but to stop just short of it. Don't force your way into these movements they will improve on their own in time. Sit in the chair with the hips and knees planted while the body turns as far as possible without pain to the left and then do the same to the right. One direction is going to go further so start with that direction. Turn the body in that direction as far and hard as possible without getting pain for 30 seconds and then rest for 15. Repeat this twice more and then go to the opposite side and do the same exact movements 3 times. Lastly, bring the Left knee up as close to the Right shoulder as possible without the use of the arms and without getting pain and then do the Right knee up as close to the Left shoulder as possible. One combination will get closer so start there. Bring that knee up as close to the opposite shoulder as possible without pain for 30 seconds and then rest for 15. Repeat twice more and then do the opposite combination exactly the same way 3 times. Now get up and move around. The pain levels should be lower and there should be more flexibility in the back and shoulders. Do these movements at least twice a day.

    The guy is averse to visiting any doctor or only the conventional ones. Can he take something natural atleast.

    Natural treatments are very effective for treating neuralgia and nerve damage, such as herbal and homeopathic remedies and tissue salts. These remedies are not only safe and gentle to use, but also supports general well-being and improve overall health. Tissue salts help to maintain cellular health in the organs and nervous systems of the body.

    Herbal ingredients such as Zanthoxylum clava herculisis (Toothache Tree) and Matricaria recutita (German Chamomile) contain anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the nervous system while at the same time relieve pain. Other beneficial herbs include Arctium lappa (Burdock) and Harpagophytum procumbens (Devil's Claw) which are excellent for treating arthritis, lumbago, rheumatism, fibrositis, sciatica and small joint disease.
