What Causes Constant Pain In The Arms While Suffering From Sciatica?

Both my arms for the past 2-3 weeks feel like there is a blood pressure cuff on them and some one is squeesing them and won t let go. It is constant with verying degrees of pain. I work out somewhat on a regular basis and don t remember doing anything at the gym that would cause an injury. My core is good but I do have a sactic nerve problem for the past 2 years that comes and goes. Any ideas?

Hello,

It looks like you have a problem in the neck where the nerves of the arms have the origin. You may have a cervical herniated disc that compresses the nerves and causes numbness in the arms. I suggest that you do an MRI of the neck to rule out or confirm this diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
