A member asked:

I woke up with intense pain in arm up to shoulder blade and my hand all crippeld up where i can't straighten it feel weak what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Pain that runs down the arm with or without numbness and tingling sounds like a pinched nerve in the neck. This is usually caused by a protruding disc or bone spur touching one of your spinal nerves as it leaves your neck. This can often improve on it's own with rest and anti-inflammatories, but if your pain lasts greater than one week or gets worse see your physician.
