Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in shoulder and fingers.
Also there can be large disc bulge which is compressing over spinal cord.

I will advise you clinical examination and accordingly investigation like MRI cervical spine or shoulder will help.
there can be rotator cuff injury may be due to age related degeneration.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give you relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Ultrasonography will rule out any gallbladder anomaly.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
