I'm a 28f with numb/pain in my left shoulder to hand that arises occasionally. i was a cna and hurt my lower back twice. could my back cause this?

Cervical: The origin of pain may be neurological but not from low back suspect cervical region or brachial plexus injury. Best to see your Physician and pursue testing.
