Question: I have been having tingling in my left shoulder up the side of my neck and up to my ear on that side. Is this something I should worry about?
Brief Answer:
possibly cervical spondylitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.I think I may be able to help you.
The symptoms that you have mentioned are suggesting that we can be dealing with cervical spondylitis.
In this condition, the bones of the back are sliding over each other, commonly due to disc abnormality leading to muscle spasm and nerve compression.
This causes symptoms of pain and numbness in the affected nerve area.
Suggest that you get Mri of the neck for confirmation.
Medicines like pregabalin and physiotherapy may help.
Best of luck.
