radiating arm pain
Hi
I have large disc protusion at c3-4 and small disc protusion at c4-5. I have had physio for this, and neurologist and neurosurgeon has not indicated any surgery. Apparently the large disc protusion is slighly impinging on spinal cord and exciting nerve root. i felt that i was getting better but in the last month or so i get this radiating arm pain which feels like its burning inside of my arms, at the top, middle and fingers.... it comes and goes, and seems to be worse the more i use my arms....
Do you think i should go back for another consult or is this fairly normal with this type of issue?? i also have a chiari malformation and scoliosis [ of which my neurologist insists can't be causing problems, i am on daily medication for headaches to ]

The arm and finger pain you're having is being caused by one of the pinched nerves in your neck. It's fairly typical.
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to see your Doctor about this, particularly if this is something that's new. It could be a result of one of your protrusions moving slightly.
