What Causes Neck Stiffness And Pain Radiating Towards Left Arm And Elbow?

I have a tornwaldt cyst of 4mm. I don t which side is it because my doctor never told me I had one until I claimed for my MRI reports. I m having lots of neck stiffness and pain. The pain spreads to my left arm and sometimes my arm starts tingling and I feel stabbings on my elbow and that s when I don t feel my left arm.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
For arm issues it seems to be due to nerve compression somewhere along the route. Ypu need to consult a Neurologist for complete assessment and treatment.

Neck stiffness has many reasons medically. it may be due to tension headache, an infection named meningitis, or it may simply be a muscular spasm. Your Neurologist will assess and diagnose the issue and treat accordingly.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
