What Causes Pain In Arm With Numbness In Fingers?

I have been having shooting pain down my left arm into my fingers and some tingling/ numbness in my pinky and ring finger sometimes my middle, this has been going on for a couple of days. I just checked my BP and at rest it is 150/100 with a pulse of 98. I am almost 30 years old and I do smoke. I am also on Norco for a neck injury from a car accident but the Norco does not help much with the pain in my arm. Should I be concerned?

Neurologist,  's  Response
Your narration seems to be related to cervical radiculopathy. Your neck injury and radiating pain and tingling in left C 7 distribution are linked. You need to consult neurologist for evaluating your cervical spine imaging. For treatment you can try neck collar, amitryptiline, pregabalin with methylcobalamin. Physiotherapy options should be discussed with physiotherapist. Hope you come out of your agony soon. Wishing you good health.
