Common Questions and Answers about Neck pain causes numbness in hand

neck

I did not see a doctor at the time. Since the accident, when I sleep on my back I have neck pain and numbness in the ring and 5th fingers of both hands. Sometimes I will have minor headaches associated with these symptoms. If I change positions the symptoms of numbness go away within 15 minutes but I may have the headache for 12 hours or more. This is happening with greater frequency lately. I am wary of seeing my flight surgeon about this. Does this sound like a cervical spine compression?

I have numbness in my hands that becomes painful and then sometimes seems ot travel upp my arm. It happens during the day as well as when I am sleeping. I wake up in the middle of the night because of the pain and numbeness. Could it be poor circulation or something else? It doesn't seem to happen all the time but I do go through periods of this. Please help.

My shoulder is doing great and the pain there is gone. The only thing that I found that helps the pain in my neck and the numbness is cervical traction. It relieves the pain and numbness right away and then comes back as soon as the traction is over. My grip strength in my left hand is about 25lbs weaker than my right hand. I had a MRI of my c-spine that was normal. My doctor said it could be from my shoulder, and the physical therapist is convinced it is my neck.

Since being assaulted by a resident in a care home that I work at I have experienced onging and increasing pain in my shoulder, stiffness in my neck, pain in my arm and numbness with occasional shooting pain into my hand.

For the past month and a half my hands are going numb and in pain up to my forearms. During the day hands stay somewhat stiff and continually numb.

I have been getting this really painful numbness in my hands. I notice it whenever I wake up in the morning. I can't even close my fist and my fingers are swollen. It is really painful. I take about 150mg of oxy a day and I was wondering if it was from that? I hear how people get RLS...but I have never heard of that in hands. Has anyone ever had this problem? And if so...what can I do to make it stop??

The neck calcifications are the cause of your hand numbness, but for now you should focus on a treatment for your sciatic pain..

Symptoms due to thoracic outlet syndrome include neck, shoulder, and arm pain, numbness, or impaired circulation to the extremities (causing discoloration). Often symptoms are reproduced when the arm is positioned above the shoulder or extended. Patients can have a wide spectrum of symptoms from mild and intermittent, to severe and constant. Pains can extend to the fingers and hands, causing weakness. Please visit website http://www.medicinenet.com/thoracic_outlet_syndrome/article.

It would slip right out of my hand and break. The pain would go up my arm and into my shoulder and neck. The pain was worse at night because I would sleep with my wrist bent and that would cause more pressure on the tunnel in the wrist. I ended up getting wrist/hand braces and wore them at night. That helped some. I was 6 months preg. when I got the surgery and I had it done with a local. I did have some problems with carpel tunnel before getting pregnant.

I'm not sure what's causing you to wake up with numb hands, iwillbeatthis, but some possibilities do come to mind. Have you tried hand lotion? After tx I came down with reynauds syndrome - basically cold fingertips. They were red and numb. It seems to be going away now - really it was little more than an anoyance. Could that be the problem?

For the past 3 years I have had many scans to find my issue but have not got any answers. On a daily basis I suffer from neck pain and an odd clicking in my neck when I turn my head from left to right. Numbness presents throughout my body mainly on the left hand side, but also some on the right. I have had: Brain MRI, (Non contrast) Neck MRI, (Non Contrast) Neck xrays, Chest xrays, Blood tests, 24 hour heart exams Heart Ultrasound all of which have come back clear.

but I'm wondering if anyone has had a numb neck? My neck today is numb from just under the chin to the top of the collar bone, from the left side to the middle of the throat. I do have neck issues but have never had this and my neck is not troubling me anymore than usual and I have no pain or dizziness that would involve a pinched nerve. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if I'm just bizarre all on my own.

Last night my right hand was completely numb causing pain into arm, had to sleep sitting up because everytime laid down same thing happened. Now all day today fingers and hand numb still. My question is what can cause this and is there any concerns I should have???

I am 38 and about 3 months ago I woke with a lump on the right side of my neck as well as severe pain in my right shoulder and complete numbness in just my right hand. I stayed in the hospital for 8 days, got the MRI, CT, X-Rays, Nerve Conduction Study, and blood tests. All came back normal! I was given the diagnosis of Brachial Plexopothy but my Neurologist (x2) said my nerves are fine. I had two lumps removed and both were not cancerous.

Hello, I was at the hospital a little over a week ago due to extreme pain in my Left shoulder neck and an uncomfortable pain/numbness in my Left arm and hand. The doctor gave me several tests... 1.ekg 2. CT scan And concluded that they do not know the cause, but here's some oxi cotin and some other s&*t that causes constipation and very little pain relief. I have never taken pain medication before, I did not enjoy this feeling and stopped taking the pain meds two days ago.

Also her left had shakes badly after awhile her arm will start shaking, she also says there is radiating pain from her neck down to her hand. The doctor has ran a nerve conduction test, MRI, and cat-scan-all have came back normal. The doctor believes she just has nerve damage and gave her medicine. The medicine sometimes wont even stop her pain or twitching.

I have now had my visit to neuro re my posting on March 22 bilateral arm pain, pins needles and numbness, thoracic pain. It seems the extra set of ribs i have in the cervical area are causing the problems. I am to have another MRI of neck and thoracic area and a chest xray. These ribs were noted when I had previous surgery but I was told it was the herniated disc doing the damage. Any one got extra cervical ribs and got pain relief from them in any way eg surgery, physio, meds please??

There has to be something causing all this pain. The pain seems to start where your c and t spine meets. Any advice what to do next?

I'm recently having trouble sleeping due to the acute numbness and pain to bilateral hand’s while sleeping. I get waken up by an intense pain and tingling sensation to both hands, which also radiates to my forearm sometimes. I shake my hands to stimulate circulation but only give some minor relief. I eventually fall asleep just to wake up again in about a hour later. I had this happen to me about a year ago and went always by its self.

C5, C6, and C7 disks are bulging and I have had regular neck pains for years. However, the numbness and pain in the arms are a recent problem.

Hi - Your hand pain can be a combination of the numbness/tingling resulting from the problems with your neck, but you could have co-existing arthritis. There are two main types of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disorder causing loss of cartilage between the individual bones. This causes the bones to rub together and produces pain and loss of movement. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic and chronic disease affecting the synovium (lining) of the joint.

I don't have any pain. I stand in one spot daily to do my job. I use my arms and hands all day. I have sudden numbness in both my arms at the same time that lasts for a few minutes. Would like to know what is causing it. It is scary.

I had surgery on my neck to remove a sebaceous gland a simple procedure I thought, but I have had chronic nerve pain ever since my face hurts, my neck, sometimes my shoulder and my hand feels numb. Nothing I take removes the pain. Any ideas?

im being treated for bulging disc in my neck, and that causes numbness and pain that goes down my arm to my thumb then my fingers go numb, i suffered since august, i thought i had a stiff neck, the past 6 weeks every two weeks i go for shots in my neck and i guess in the disc, i dunno they put me in a twilight sleep, so it seems to b working for the pain but not the numbness, good luck tho
