Intra-medullary Spinal Cord Tumor Survivor. Now Having Burning Sensation From Neck To Fingers. Is This A Side Effect?

I have been experiencing, for a month now, dull burning sensation radiating from the base of my neck to my shoulder blade, breast, and left hand all the way to my fingers. My hand is painful and i cannot use same as it tires often...even as i type now, the base of the neck and shoulder blade burns. I am a intra-medullary spinal cord tumor survivor for 2 years now. Unsure if this is a side effect of then.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that due to pressure or irritation of nerves passing through cervical vertebrae by intra-medullary spinal cord tumor might be giving this problem.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Line of treatment can be decided accordingly.
Ok and bye.
