Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation In The Arms

Question: I have had neck and shoulder injury for many years after a fall into our basement and lately it has been really giving me trouble. My arm starts to tingle and get week and if it gets really bad can cause a few words to be said wrong. Usually if someone massages it or hot water can help. I have knotsin shoulder and neck when this happens. Could it be a pinched nerve?
Brief Answer:
Cervical spondylosis pinched nerve
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
Yes, it is mostly a pinched nerve at the back of the neck near the spine associated with a condition called Cervical spondylosis.
Avoid bending neck forward or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Take Tablet Diclofenac with Thicolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg twice a day for a month. Avoid using thick pillow.
Do upload Xray of your Cervical spine if you have one.
I hope I have answered your query.
