Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My right shoulder and arm hurts. I have muscle weakness in that arm also. I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease so I am not sure whether this is a neck nerve thing or a shoulder thing. I have a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic doctor. Both think it might be my neck.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi,
Yes, it seems to be your neck (cervical spondylitis). Would be confirmed by X-ray/MRI. It is to be followed by suitable physiotherapy along with pain medicines/surgery is advised in few patients.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
