A member asked:
After small c6 disk tear and nerve irritation i'm getting random burning shocks over body instead of pins and needles in r hand. should i go to ed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't Sound Normal: I would suggest seeing a pain specialist to see what is going on. Typically C6 issues will affect neck, shoulder, arm and 1st and 2nd digits. The burning sensation is normal for nerve irritation, however the shock over body is not normal.
