I have had chronic pain in the spine area at the base of my head for at least over a year. I also suffer from carpel tunnel which I figured caused the pain in my right shoulder blade. Now, today, I have noticed both arms tingle and are a little numb, my ears ring, and the pain is excruciating especially when I stand or walk and my arms hang. Especially with my right arm, it feels like my neck/shoulder cannot hold the weight even if my hands are empty. I never had my neck checked before thinking it was stress or whatever. As a child, I was in 2 severe car accidents that caused whip-lash. Should this pain be something to be concerned about?
