What Causes Neck Pain And Tingling Sensation In The Arms?

Hi, I have been experiencing neck pain. At night I wake up with my right arm numb, hands tingling and it can be very painful. Also, when I am sitting, I will experience sharp pains in my neck and my right shoulder is constantly sore and am experiencing minimal movement, or when I do move it, it is painful. Should I see my primary care Dr. or a chiropractor?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here tingling present along with severe pain over arms and shoulder

Hence acute neuritis, nerve entrapment or spinal problem like Spondylosis or spondylitis can be there

Vitamin deficiency also should be ruled out but it seems less likely here

For your condition it is better to consult orthopedic surgeon or physician for examination

According to cause specific treatment given

Take care

Hope your concern solved
