What Causes Pain In Shoulders When Diagnosed With Cervical Spondylitis?

Hi, my name is Amarnath and I am 42 years old. Recently i am diagnosed with Cervical Spondylosis. I dont have any neck pain. I have mild pain between shoulder and elbow and there is swelling my arm fingers with mild pain. I do walking and gym everyday for about an hour. I am also practicing isometric exercises twice a day. My question is what type of exercises I should avoid and how to cure the swelling in fingers without any medication.

Hi there, Thanks for your question at HCM.

The spinal nerves in our neck are wired in such a way that pressure at particular point can cause pain distributed in an area away from the spine, as in shoulder and arms in your situation.It is possible to have shoulder pain if the 5 th and 6 th nerves are pinched in the spine.Isometric exercises, gym and walking definitely help. You should avoid exercise which involve twisting and rotation of your neck.Swelling of fingers can be relived by elevation, passive and active exercises at all joints, if it is not due to infection or severe inflammation.

Hope this answers your questions

All the best. Regards.
