"It Started Out As Neck Pain, Now I Have Arm Pain Too...!"

The lower neck sends nerves out to your hands and arms. The root cause of the nerve pressure is typically at the spine. Your main control center of the body is the brain. The spinal cord comes off of that and off of that come nerves. The nerves exit out a hole or foramen created by the joining of two spinal bones or vertebrae. In this video you will see the vertebral foramen and the uncoverteral joints were they are connected.

The vertebral bodies are joined with a disc pad between them. In the video you can see how bone spurring from an arthritic spine can easily lead to nerve pressure. Add to this, a bulged disc, inflammation, and already crooked spine, and you can easily imagine symptoms being worse.

Now, depending exactly where that nerve pressure is will determine what and where symptoms will be present. As you can imagine, you may start out with some neck stiffness. But as pressure accumulates and we are compressing more of the nerve, you can easily get more and worse symptoms.
