Complex problem: Spinal stenosis/cerv'l disc degen. freq.cause neck pain, but not always.Same w/hand numbness:could be carpal tunnel or from neck, both or neither.PT is often too generic to help.Shoulder surg could play a part in causing hand/arm nerve problems.Strongly rec. osteopathic eval as specific diagnosis via hands-on exam & gentle manip. may help.Consider neuroprolotherapy for CTS or brachial neuropathies
