Pain neck to arm

Common Questions and Answers about Pain neck to arm

neck

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 I have been having pain in my left arm that has now spread to my breast & upper neck & back. The pain runs down my arm. What can be the cause of this?
Avatar f tn I have been having some bad pain in the right side of my neck. I have always had some neck problems but it hasn't been this bad in awhile. On top of it all my right shoulder is hurting and so is my right arm. My arm muscle is so sore and feels so heavy and tight and I haven't done a whole lot. I have taken Tylenol and tried biofreeze but nothing is working. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm 9 weeks right now.
Avatar f tn Please help.. I have back problems, but never have I experienced this much pain.. Monday I started to have pain in my neck. It felt like I hade a crick in it from sleeping on it wrong, but I was at Walmart when I started experiencing the pain. It got worse that night. The pain then started going down to my shoulders. When I laid down in my normal sleeping position, on my left side with my arm under my pillow, I couldn't put my arm under my pillow because the pain was so bad..
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 n tn Degenerative disc disease in your cervical spine can produce the symptoms you have described. Treatment would be based on the nature and extent of any spinal abnormalities and nerve compression. If you have the findings of your MRI available at a later date, post them on the board and we will try and assist you further.
Avatar f tn I recently had an MRI to find out what is going on with my neck, shoulder and arm. I was thinking that it is part of the FM but more severe in that area. Haven't got a reply from the nuerologist because she's decided to pack up and move her practice.
Avatar f tn - It hurts to move my head,the right side of my upper body or even to cough.The pain goes all the way to my wrist - even using the mouse at work. The only time I can relive the pain is if I place my right arm on top of my head - It is not affecting my breathing.. but the pain is steady - it does not go away, even with pain killers - makes for a very restless night of sleep(and extremely uncomfortable that carries throughout my day. I know I need to go to the Doctor - however, till then..
Avatar m tn This is my first posting on this forum. My neck pain has become much worse with time. I initially had a pinched nerve and then the pain started in my neck and went down my arm. I feel fine when I hold my arm over my head. I got x-rays and MRI done at OrthoTexas. The doctors over there said I have cervical neck pain and it needs to be treated asap. I am looking for a second opinion. Please help.
Avatar f tn what can a person do that has pain in his arms from his neck to his shoulder to his elbow to his wrist?
Avatar n tn I get a burning/pinching in the right side of my lower neck, and when I broke my arm recently, had to use the computer in a different arm position due to my splint. Suddenly the burning/pinching in the neck went away, only to come back when the splint was removed. It was clearly from pushing repeatedly and having to click hard in some applications I use over and over. I wouldn't have suspected this for sure except that it changed when my arm position and finger use were forced to change.
Avatar n tn I was told I may need to eat more magnesium and potassium, which I started doing. The neck pain radiates across my shoulder down the top of my arm, to my elbow. My arm feels tired, if I lift it a long time, a sore feeling. But the sharp pain is on the neck itself. I've been massaging my neck, taking hot showers with water on my neck, using one of those pillows you can heat and wrap around the neck. I thought perhaps I just pulled a muscle and it will get better with time.
Avatar n tn It occurred 7 years ago, and am still recovering. The pain from my neck to my finger tips can be terrible on some days. Fortunately, the surgery itself was not invasive. Small cut at the neck line, that is barely noticeable now. Recovery wasn't bad either, except for the pain in the arm. The surgeon did tell me, and continues to tell me, "it was nothing he did!" Thus, I don't know what happened! ;-( Drill the doctor with as many questions as you can.
Avatar n tn Hi, Thank you for your question. Generally, shoulder and arm numbness originates from the neck problems due to irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because the nerves that supply the back of the head start in the upper cervical spine. Mostly, these symptoms aggravate after turning head and typically occur in patients with previous neck injuries and in patients with marked arthritis of the upper cervical spine.
Avatar m tn It started in one arm and then went to the other arm as well.
Avatar m tn You do not say exactly where in the arm the pain is and if you had a fall or any type of knock. Pain in the arm can sometimes radiate from the shoulder and neck area of the spine and can also be caused by swollen or torn tendons, bone problems like osteoarthritis, muscle problems and overuse of the arm if you do any type of repetitive work. You should make an urgent appointment to see your doctor to examine you and determine the underlying cause.
Avatar n tn Hi Mary, Welcome to our Pain Management Forum. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing constant arm pain. Which arm is it? I don't see an actual question in your post so I won't try to guess what it may be. If you do have a specific question please feel free to ask it. ..... And please provide a bit more info. How long has this been going on? Again, which arm? This could be a shoulder problem or a spinal structure issue.
Avatar m tn Other than this, there may be Scalene Myofascial Pain Syndrome. When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred from neck to (either all or a combination of) chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and index finger.
Avatar n tn I can relate to neck pain that is so bad that a sneeze or cough is to much to bear. I have just had surgery, foramotomy, or something like that. I do not spell well. This was supposed to relieve my pain in Left shoulder but so far no luck. My arm feels better but my whole shoulder spasms now. I think your pain may be comming from DDD . Do you have sgoulder or arm pain also.
785584 tn?1273249232 Hi all! Well it's almost been two weeks since goofy stuff has started up! I should mention I had my Chiari surgery 11/09. But past few weeks I have had severe pressure pushing on my eyes and ears, causing piercing ear pain. If I stay down it's not too bad. More I move around the more intense it is. I went to Dr for sinus infection, they did work up, it's not that. They did MRI and my dr wanted mri sent to ns to review as she feels there is a increased csf.
Avatar m tn Hi Joseph, I am sorry you are having so much pain in your arm. Pain can be so life altering and you are so young to have such horrid pain. An MRI most certainly will diagnosis a tendon or a ligament injury. I am at a loss as to what could have happened when your friend fell on your arm. It sounds like your physicians have performed all the diagnostic procedures that should have revealed an injury to your arm. Trauma to an arm will normally result in with a sprain, strain or fracture.
Avatar f tn I have had pain in my neck right shoulder and arm with weakness and numbness and tingling in my hand. Ive had an MRI and these are the findings. From C4 down to C7 multi-level degenerative disc disease is present with multi-level posterior disc protusions with accompanying osteophyte formation which results in bilateral foraminal narrowing and indentation of the thecal sac at the disc levels from C4 down to C7.

1422878 tn?1284584593 im having neck pain...my arm hurts. and my hand is tingling. my neck hurts when i move it.... and it makes a cracking sound when try to move it. What is going on?
Avatar n tn After the exam, the pain started to subside, so I attributed the pain to stress. Later that night, I went out with husband for Valentine's Day and we ended the night with intercourse. The next morning the pain was back but only this time the pain was located on my right, down my shoulder and arm. I tried everything unsuccessfully until I was forced to go to the emergency room on 02/20/08.
