General & Family Physician 's  Response
i need to know some history first like any h/o Diabetes, cervical spondylosis.
Since how long pain is there, aggravating and relieving factors of pain, any diurnal variation,any h/o fever. At this age most common cause is degenerative disease of cervical spine that press the nerve situated there leads to numbness and tingling sensation in arm. Can do one cervical spine Xray.
Treatment is Pain killers like Pregabalin combined with B12.
