Diagnosis needed: First obtain a diagnosis. The problem may be a pinched nerve by a bone spur or bulging disc in the neck. Examining you will allow the physician, orthopedic specialist or neurologist to localize the problem to your neck or to your shoulder. Xray and/or mri of the neck may be recommended. Taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen may relieve the discomfort of either problem.
