Suggest Treatment For Pain In Upper Neck And Left Arm
Hi, I have experiencing pain in my upper neck and left arm for about 3 months now. To the point where it wakes me during my sleep, I have had physio and tried anti-inflamitries and nothing seems to help. I go to reach down for an object and have severe shooting pain down my arm, it is becoming very frustrating to live with, I believe it is nerve pain? could it be a compressed or pinched nerve and what is the best course of action to take?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having pinched nerve pressure symptoms due to osteo-artheritis changes in your cervical spines.
Go for x-ray cervical vertebrae for osteo-artheritis changes.
Go for,
Physiotherapy of neck and shoulder.
Short way diathermy,
If require cervical traction.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
