Question: MY RIGHT ARM FROM MY FINGERS TO MY NECK I AM HAVING SHARP PAIN. IT IS NOT CONTINUOUS BUT WHEN I AM ACTIVE IT REALLY HURTS. ITS LIKE A BURNING FEELING THRU MY WHOLE ARM.
Brief Answer:
Pinched nerve in neck.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Symptoms you describe are most likely caused by a pinched nerve mostly at neck.
Conditions that may cause such issues include degerative discs disease, herniated discs disease, arthritis and spondylolysthesis of the cervical spine.
A consultation with a Spine Specialist for a thorough clinical examination and imaging studies of cervical spine (MRI scan preferably) are necessary to get a correct diagnosis. Please discuss this with your doctor.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards.
