Hello ,

thanks for writing to us
I am Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi, I am Orthopaedic surgeon and spine specialist.
I have studied your case.

The cause of frequent problem -this kind of pain is due to compression of nerve because of spinal disc bulge. Nerve compression lead to radiating pain in arm and hand along with swelling, which aggravated on long time sitting in same particular position.

You need x ray cervical spine and shoulder and if required MRI.
you need methylcobalamine , muscle relaxant with analgesic.

take rest , , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights

physiotherapy - SWD ,IFT WILL HELP
