Hello,
These findings indicate chronic degenerations of the cervical vertebral column, causing narrowing of the nerve roots, leading to compression and pain in the hands. I recommend performing regular physical activity, physiotherapy and discussing with a spinal surgeon. Nerve conduction studies should be done too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
