Recently dx with C5,C6, C7 narrowing, spurring. Disc abnormality around C6, C7.I wake up with pain in my left arm and hand and cannot make a fist with my left hand for about a half hour after arising. Now this is starting in the right arm and hand. Ring finger and little finger of both hands are particularly affected. This has been going on since August.

Hello,

Disc abnormalities and spurs can irritate the nerves that control movement and sensation in the hands and arms. You need to see a neurologist to determine the exact cause.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
