Hi,

You seem to be having nerve root compression at the level of cervical spine. Most likely reason may be disk degeneration and prolapse.

This leads to numbness and radicular pain in the shoulder and hand. Diagnosis can be confirmed with MRI of the cervical spine from radiology centre nearby you.

Meanwhile start tablet Pregalin X. Consult your physician for prescription.

Visit to expert orthopaedic spine specialist is recommended for detailed examination and proper diagnosis.

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