Experiencing Neck Pain That Shoots Into Your Shoulder and Arm?
If you’re feeling sharp, burning, or tingling pain that starts in your neck and spreads into your shoulder or arm, you’re likely dealing with a nerve-related issue in the cervical spine.
At IROSM in Hialeah, Dr. Michael Erdman regularly treats patients with this exact problem.
Common Causes of Radiating Neck and Shoulder Pain:
1. Cervical Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve)
This happens when a spinal nerve in your neck becomes compressed, often due to:
- Herniated discs
- Bone spurs (arthritis)
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Symptoms often include:
- Shooting pain down the arm
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness in the shoulder or hand
2. Herniated Cervical Disc
When the soft material inside a spinal disc pushes out, it can press on nearby nerves, causing neck pain that radiates down your shoulder and arm.
3. Cervical Spinal Stenosis
This condition involves narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck, leading to nerve compression and radiating pain.
4. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Though less common, compression between your neck and shoulder muscles can lead to arm pain and numbness.
