Question : I have been experiencing tingling in the right arm, extending from the neck down to my fingers. I have had loss of tricep muscle (it does not flex or fire like the left tri), no loss of strength though. I am a baseball coach and throw batting practice every day with no pain afterwards. I am concerned about long term effects. thank you

Brief Answer:
Cervical nerve root compression

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but it seems that you are suffering from cervical nerve root compression that may or may not be accompanied with cervical disc prolapse .. I would recommend that you get a ct scan on your cervical vertebrea to detect the exact cause of nerve compression and treat accordingly . I hope I answered your question.. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion .
