It feels, at times like it runs from the back of my neck down to my hand. It s hard to tell if it s a nerve or muscle issue. What does it sound like ?

Dear patient
it seems u are having nerve compression at the level of cervical spine with radicular pain in the right upper limb and hand. This happens mostly due to disc prolapse in cervical spine. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by Mri of the cervical spine. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. You need to consult spine surgeon nearby you with report.
