Hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As mentioned by you, about the
sharp pain in the arms, shoulders and wrists, i will advice to undergo a complete neuromuscular assessment.
Also, this sharp shooting pain can be due to the pathology of the
nerve. and for which your ortho may advice you for an
MRI, which will help understand the physiology of the soft tissues in the
cervical spine. Post which with a combination of medicine and
physical therapy, the symptoms will come into control, also, on a later stage, exercises will be taught to strengthen the muscles and avoid nerve impingement, which is common for this kind of sharp pain. Usuaully, patients recover with good health in 2-3 weeks, and later stages, exercises are followed at home.
