What Causes Pain On Neck And Shoulder And Tingling On Hands?
Hi, I just had a cervical MRI it all came back good, except the c5-c6 but nothing really bad. What would my next step be, I have pain in my neck and shoulder that actually run all the way down my arms, numbness and tingling in my hands and finger tips. Had an emg done and was told it was not carpel tunnel. Any ideas would be appreciated

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Due to compression of nerve root in cervical spine there is tingling numbness and pain associated with it.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin and methylcobalamin medication can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
