Pain in right side neck shoulder and arm
Hello doctor,
When my husband got up from his sleep he had neck pain on the right side .. He used hot water bag and volini spray on the painful area to get relief... But the pricking pain hasn't gone but is radiating into his right shoulder and into the upper arm whenever he sits down... And also he is feeling slight loss of strength in the right upper arm...He has no pain in the mentioned areas while lying down..

It could be disc prolapse at the cervicle spine. If putting hand above the head reduce the pain on the concerned side, meet an orthopaedician as early as possible. I can help if I know the other expected symptoms as well

Mainly it is due to muscle weakness in neck. Physio in form of IFT and usg massage might help. Do neck muscle strengthening exercises once pain settles. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because dehydrated disc is more prone to injury or buldge. Consult orthopaedic dr.
