What Causes Headache, Neck Pain, Numbness And Burning Sensation On Fingers?

Hello, I have been having severe headaches the past 3 years. My doctors have been treating them as migraines since I do get them and have since birth but not think these. These are almost every day and I have noticed it has begun to progress along with my neck problems. I have a constant, dull ache in my lower neck around what I believe to be the 5-7 vertebrae and you can hear what sounds to be bone rattling around when it moves. I am having problems with range of motion and I am having spasms in my trap area. My hands are becoming numb and my feet and head are having pins and needles feelings. I am also beginning to have trembling of the hands at times. The pain of the neck is always there but it is usually dull then intense and that is when the spasms begin. It feels like I have a bowling ball or heavy weight on the back of my neck. Then the headaches are constant and they do resemble a migraine but they are not. All one sided. Any advice. I can deal with a lot of pain, but not daily headaches. The constant numbing and burning of my fingers is getting to me as well. I do not believe my extremities have weakened any but the last time my doctor pressed down on my neck I felt a shock down my left arm and I had problems holding a bottle the rest of the day. My wife thought I had parkinson s disease. Thanks

Hello,

It may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level.

For further assessment you may require MRI neck and nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.

Continue physical therapy.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
