Neck stiff/severe headaches/heavy arm

2020-10-18 16:30:15
It's been more than 15 days now. The problem started with left arm heavy and numb with nausea at some times. Then my neck became really stiff with bad bad headaches. Consulted Orthopedic surgeon - he took X-ray and said bad posture effect. Gave me meds for my symptoms and advised physio. But I have not got any relief yet. Today, I even got my mri done. Results awaited.please note that some days my neck is really stiff with excess headache and other day only my left arm is numb, pain fall. They don't happen together. Why it so? Now, my next confusion is to which specialist should I consult now as I have not got any relief from ortho.

Dear User, The problem you described seems to point towards that you are having a cervical spondylosis and there must be some nerve compression which is causing pain in ur upper limb. The MRI will confirm this and then you need to visit a Neurologist. Take care Dr Amit Agarwal
