I woke up about 3 weeks ago with a soreness in my right shoulder and a numbness/tingling sensation all down my right arm, from shoulder to thumb. My right bicep felt bruished. I thought I must have slept on it and pinched a nerve and it would resolve itself. However, 3 weeks later, although the shoulder and bicep pain are gone, I still have tingling/numbness from forearm to thumb and index finger. Any ideas?
It is a cervical spondylitis. In this condition there is nerve compression in the neck which causes reticular pain in whole upper limb. For this you need to get X-ray of the neck and MRI. If there is nerve compression then you need to start physiotherapy for neck muscle strengthening and also need to take pregabalin M tablet one daily. Also wear a roller and avoid using very high pillow. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
