What Causes Pain From Neck To Shoulders And Arm?

I have a buldging disc in my neck along with artheritis I(sp?) I work in fast food and always looking up at computer screens overhead. I have a dull burning pain that spreads from my neck to my shoulders and down my arm. I feel as if my head is too heavy for my neck. Have I possibly ruptured a disc?

Hello,

The computer jobs has the risk of having cervical problems. The long hours of keeping neck at one place with stress lead to changes around cervical spine and muscles. You should do following to have relief:
- Keep your posture normal during work.
- Avoid sitting for long hours.
- Take frequent breaks after working for 20-30 minutes.
- Do exercises of the neck. Look for exercises online
- Do warm fomentation with help of water bag for at least 3 times a day.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
