Varies: Spondylosis is a term that describes the degenerative cascade that can affect the spine. This process can create bone spurs to develop and push on nerves and this can ultimately cause the arm symptoms you are describing. There are multiple non operative interventions to try to control the symptoms, if they are unsuccessful, surgery is the ultimate cure.
