Can a cervical disk cause an electricshock to both arms down the last two fingers?specially when i touch the funnybone,jump...ps:its not cubitaltunnel
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Short answer, Yes. Compression of the spine or individual nerve roots of the cervical spine can cause electric/shock like pain down the arms and into the hands. When the C8 nerve root is impacted it can result in pain to the 4th and 5th digits.
