What Causes Pain In Shoulder And Arm With Numbness In Hand?
I am a large woman of 50 - I have experienced pain in my right shoulder and arm - have numbness in my hand - have lost some strength to my hand and am plagued by pins and needles this has been going on since early August (3 months)- I have had physio therapy but this only provides temporary relief...... I have seen a show on MND and am starting to worry - although there is no history of this in my family

Hello,
Your symptoms are not typical of MND. Instead, they are more suggestive of a pinched nerve or a bulging disc in the neck. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a cervical spine X-ray study and nerve conduction studies.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
