A member asked:
I've been having severe back pain, anywhere on back and it sometimes goes into my right arm all the way down to my wrist, what could be wrong?

Need to see neurolog: What you are describing is cervical radiculopathy which usually results from a disc pressing on the nerves in your neck. There are also other possibilities but seeing a neurologist is the next step.
