I am a 50 yr old male, good health , I recently have had tingling in my wrist, hand falling asleep, pain that goes with that. Im not a computer person i fix Air conditioners in homes.Also now my right side upper behind shoulder blade get pain when i lift arm if i keep pushing myself it hurts to about an eight. It doesnt always do this it goes away or lessens. Ive had pneumonia many years ago. Can you help.
I have studied your case. Yes due to compression of spinal nerve root there can be numbness sensation in your wrist and fingers. I will advise you to MRI whole spine for better diagnosis.
This may take 2 to 3 weeks to reduce numbness.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to neck and back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
