Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Go For A Walk If I Have Stiff Neck, Heaviness In Arms And Tingling In Fingers?
I started with a stiff neck on left side yesterday. By this morning my left arm felt heavy and tingling in my hand/fingers. The tingling has stopped but my arm/hand is still heavy and I have lost a strong grip. Should I go to the walk in tomorrow morning or just wait it out?
Your symptoms correlate to disease known as cervical spondylitis and radiculopathy. This means that your neck bones are degenerating and there is pressure on the nerve roots of neck region.
I would suggest you to definitely postpone the walk for a couple of days till the symptoms subside. Good thing about this disease is that symptoms do regress.
Treatment: Anti inflammatory like nucoxia mr Neurotropic like pregablin Short wave diathermy and diclofenac gel massage. When the pain subsides do start cervical isometric exercises. ...go to a physiotherapy clinic for that.
I hope my advice has helped. Good luck

Should I Go For A Walk If I Have Stiff Neck, Heaviness In Arms And Tingling In Fingers?
Hi there . Your symptoms correlate to disease known as cervical spondylitis and radiculopathy. This means that your neck bones are degenerating and there is pressure on the nerve roots of neck region. I would suggest you to definitely postpone the walk for a couple of days till the symptoms subside. Good thing about this disease is that symptoms do regress.
