Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My neck has been hurting for the past three days and the first day I thought it was just that I slept wrong. As each day passes the pain is less and less but now I have like a heat sensation on my arm on the same side is it related or is it a serious problem?
Dear Friend. Neck pain of 3 days can be due to muscle spasm. Due to incorrect posturing. But a simple neck spasm pain doesn't radiate to arms. if the pain is radiating to arms and has tingling or numbness associated , it is a sign of nerve compression. Can be due to cervical spondylosis. You need to visit a doctor , as a clinical examination would clear the picture and if required you will be posted for imaging studies. Good luck. .
