A member asked:
Is numbness caused by neck nerves complete numbness where you can't feel it at all or can it just kind of dull sensation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: Numbness is caused by a change in the function of nerves. There are many types of symptoms like numbness; those that tingle, some that hurt, some feel like pressure or a "thick" sensation, some have a burning heat quality. Usually with problems in the cervical spine, there tends to be pain associated with the numbness, but not always. Hope that helps.
