Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I presume what you meant is that there are multiple disc bulges in the spine, leading to pinched nerves at various levels. This would explain the numbness and tingling sensations in the arms.
Initial treatment would consist of physiotherapy and medications such as pregabalin.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
