Common Questions and Answers about Nerve pain neck and arm

neck

Avatar n tn I would get sharp and shooting pains that went from my neck all the way down my shoulder and down my arm and through my right thumb and forefinger. The sensation is like if you put your arm on an electrified fence and held it there. If the pain gets exceedingly worse, it would be time to go see a neurologist or someone who specializes in spinal injuries or surgery.
Avatar n tn Hi, I think your symptoms may be due to nerve irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because of cervical disc bulge. This pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head & shoulders (as it blades)- LHERMITTES SIGN, arms or chest, rather than just the neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) and stiffness. It will be best that you consult a neurologist who would like to prescribe Pain killers, steroid and muscle relaxants.
Avatar n tn The thing I can not understand is I have little to no pain in my neck. I do however have tremendous pain in my right shoulder blade and down my right arm into my hand. This has been going on for about 3 months and when I cough I have sharp pain in my shouder blade. Is this a normal sensation for a compressed nerve?

Avatar m tn I have pain in my neck, right shoulder blade area and my right arm. The pain is different depending on what I am doing. When lowering my head to get in my car or just moving up and down, the pain is in my neck. Sitting in bed it is in my shoulder and arm and sometimes my arm will have a slight numbing sensation. Coughing and sneezing, there is shooting pains through all three. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
Avatar f tn t know if its significant or not. My neck pain comes and goes, but I have a lot of shoulder, upper back and chest pain. In my chest its more pressure and tightness, than pain. But it is very uncomfortable.And the headaches, I get the headaches, bad ones.

760862 tn?1243097304 ) I had been experiencing some arm pain and finger pain with my neck problems and was told it was nerve damage. He gave me some medication for it and I don't take it any longer but it helped when I needed it for the pain in my arm and fingers. I was getting injections for my neck and the arm and finger pain just eventually went away. So I think you may be having some nerve pain from either nerve damage or problems steming from another injury you may have.
Avatar n tn Just this week, the pain in my left shoulder has started to improve while the shooting pain down my arm on the right side has started to occur. Could this be a pinched nerve in my neck? What should my next step be? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/296716'>Shoulder Pain, Tingly Arm, Pinched Nerve?</a>.
Avatar n tn I have a soreness in my left shoulder blade, left arm pain, specific area of pain on top of elbow, pain throughout my entire arm and tingling in arm, hand, thumb, index finger and middle finger.
Avatar f tn Hi, You could be having a spinal nerve compression in the neck or cervical region along with ulnar nerve compression in the arm and hand. This may be leading to the pain in neck, shoulder, arm and hands along with numbness and tingling. Wrong posture, spinal stenosis, spinal disc protrusion etc, may be the cause. Please go for MRI of the neck and spine, and arm and consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. Please stop strenous physical work and go for gentle exercises daily.
Avatar n tn These accumulated changes caused by degeneration can gradually compress one or more of the nerve roots. This can lead to increasing pain in the neck and arm, weakness, and changes in sensation. In advanced cases, the spinal cord becomes involved. This can affect not just the arms, but the legs as well”. Taken from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000436.htm Investigations like MRI spine are done to rule out.
Avatar n tn I was in a car wreck it caused whiplash and a head contusion in 2008 and I just had surgery for Herniated Disc I had pain and numbness in my right hand and fingers, in my arm numbness in my elbow pain in between my shoulder blades and across my shoulder, neck stiffness pain in my neck loss of motion in neck and major and many headaches I also had dizzy spells and major sinus problems form it.

Avatar m tn Now 3 days have passed, every time I move my right arm, I feel pain, sometimes on my fingers, sometimes on my wrist, sometimes on the arm itself, sometimes on the shoulder. When I turn around my neck, I feel pain as well. Headache is on and off. I thought all my pains are mostly located on my right side and only when right side is affected, I would feel pain. Then yesterday, something weird happened.
Avatar f tn Two days ago I woke up with a terrible pain in my neck and arm (just above elbows). The night before I was laying in a poor posture on the couch. Over the past two the days this pain is no longer and terrible as it is. I only feel the pain in my upper arm area when I bend my neck down. I at first thought it was a muscle issue, but my muscles have no pain. I did some reading and realized that I may have potentially pinched a nerve.

Avatar n tn I have a pain on the left side of my neck and my left arm has a tingling feeling all the way down to my fingers. I've had this feeling for about 2 years now. know what could be causing it?
Avatar n tn pain in neck on rt side and base of neck has large lump, sometimes my right hand goes cold like it has no circulation
Avatar m tn You are able to shake it around and get the circulation to return to the area but if the nerve gets pinched off too long or remains pinched it blocks the circulation from being able to return and you have the numbness and pain, and can have nerve damage as a result. Continue to try to move it around, and roll and stretch your neck maybe you can eventually stretch the areas enough to unpinch the nerve.
Avatar f tn You need to be evaluated for a cervical spine disc degeneration or prolapsed irritating the nerve roots and causing tingling , numbness and weakness in the arm and thumb. These neck, shoulder and arm symptoms are most likely due to compression of the nerve roots supplying these regions which originate from cervical and upper thoracic vertebral levels. Consult a neurologist for evaluation of your spine and an MRI spine would help in assessment of the structures in your back.

Avatar f tn I had C5-C7 removed anteriorly with fusion and hardware. Prior to surgery I had left arm pain and left scapula pain and some weakness to the left side. Approximately 6 weeks after surgery I started having new symptoms to the right side, such as intense burning pain on the right side and right arm pain and burning sensations that were spreading to my chest area. Then I also had posterior skull pain like it radiated to the right side of my skull.. The burning on the chest has subsided.
