What Causes Pain And Numbness In Neck And Shoulder Area?
My husband had extreme pain down the left side of his neck into his upper shoulder. He also complained of SOB. He also experiences trouble with his arms falling asleep . Pain medication relieved the pain but did not take it completely away. As it improved he said he felt like a numbness in that area. One week later his pain and SOB and chest feels better. He is 45 years old.

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having pinched nerve pressure giving this problem.
This can be due to some degenerative changes occurring in cervical spines.
Go for x-ray cervical vertebrae for cervical spondilitis.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
