A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Radiculopathy: This may be a disc or a spur in your spine pressing on a nerve root as it exits the spinal column in the neck. This would explain radiation of symptoms down the arm on the same side. A neurologist or neurosurgeon would be best qualified to evaluate you and appropriate tests will be done in order to make a diagnosis and recommend treatment options.
