A member asked:

Symptoms:neck/shoulder pain, stiffness, numbness in right arm/hand, headaches. could this be a bone spur of the cervical vertebrae in a 58 year old ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor. Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.
