Brief Answer:
physiotherapy like Interferential therapy and auto traction for early recov

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I have understood your symptoms,

Based on your description there is radiating pain from your shoulder to arm and finger. Usually cervical disc bulge leads to nerve compression and subsequently radicular pain in your arm and fingers.

You are already taking good medicine but as there is no relief I will advise you physiotherapy like Interferential therapy and auto traction. Further static and against resistance guided exercise therapy may help in this case. You can consult physiotherapist for that.

MRI cervical spine will be useful to assess severity of nerve compression.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

No this may not be due to diabetes ,this is more like radicular pain due to cervical disc.

In diabetes there is numbness which is more common.
But bones can become weak early due to diabetes.

Take care.
