A member asked:

Can breast pain that leads to numbness be caused by the neck? (also upper arm) 2 yrs ago had c5-7 fusion and now having problems above & below

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbness : Pain that lead to numbness in the upper arm can be related to a neck problem from c4-6. It is unlikely that it explains the symptoms in the breast. A dermatome MAP can better illustrate this. The sensory representation over the breast comes from upper thoracic spine. Search dermatome MAP online.
