I have had tingling in my neck and shoulder. this causes my shoulder to go numb down to my hand and also my lips. My MRI showed that my nerves in my cervical ares and bone spurs. Ive had 3 shots in the area, however not with alot of success. Now, i am having trouble in between the upper part of my back between my shoulder blades. it is almost impossible for me to move in bed at nite when i wake, it takes a little while to just turn over. Im useing ice, heat, creams,and patches, and n orco10.375.iv been told it takes a few of the shots between the work. your input would be greatly appreciation. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

These symptoms can be explained by the nerve being impinged in the neck, it is not very uncommon. Ice packs, massage all can be helpful, besides this muscle relaxant can also help however the most important thing is to correct the posture and few exercises. Here the role of physiotherapy is very important and most of the times with good posture and exercises this can get well. steroids injections are needed if this fails. Very rarely if problem is severe surgery can be done.

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