Cervical spondylosis very likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM

Yes its better to go to E.R ,Numbness in hand with headache and back pain can be most likely because of cervical spondylosis.However a XRay cervical spine is to be done to confirm the diagnosis.
A ecg should also be done to rule out any possible cardiac involvement.
Thank you!
