Pain On Top Of Spine, Right Arm Pain, Difficulty In Moving Head. Taking Painkillers. Advice?

Hi, I was taken into hospital last weekend with pains across the top of my spine which affected my neck, arm all down my right side, pins and needles in my fingers . Dull ache in my right arm. I have not had any diagnosis yet, waiting on ct or MRI.
I now have movement in my right arm, but still can't turn my head to the right and now have got pain across my right side of my chest across the top of my breast bone. I am female age 41. I am on pain killers and diazepam . I am still in a lot of pain and discomfort .

Hi,
From history it seems that you might have degenerative changes in your cervical spine giving irritation or pressure on nerves giving rise to this problem.
Wait till report comes.
Afterwards consult spine specialist and get examined.
Physiotherapy and short way diathermy will be much helpful.
Ok and take care.
