General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Nerves come out of the spinal cord through foramina of the vertebra. In your case due to narrowing of them your nerves ar getting compressed and causing pain in your cervical region and arms. Regular physiotherapy and pregabalin 75 can solve your problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tanmoy Roy, General & Family Physician
