Right Arm Pain, Back Pain, Shoulder Pain, Tingling Sensation In Middle Finger. Used Hot Water. What Can Help?

I have a pain that began in my right arm. I have full range of motion of my shoulder. The pain is accompanied by tingling sensation in my first and middle finger. It feels as though I have a know in my back, between my spine and the scapula. This paain seems to be somewhat relieved by rubbing the area of my back against a corner, and by running hot water on the area. What can be done to relieve the tingling in my fingers and the pain in my back/shoulder/arm?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
your symptoms suggest cervical spondylitis, usually occurs in aged people
in this disease the nerves emerging from the spinal canal put under pressure
it gives rise to myalgia and tingling and numbness in the areas supplied by that nerve root
keep the neck in extended position if required by a cervical collor
lie on a flat and hard bed while sleeping
better take physiotherapy from a physiotherapist
if pain is severe you can use some analgesics
if there is no relief from above measures
better consult an orthopedician/neurologist
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
