[|Human|] I experienced neck stingers playing college football thirty years ago and it comes back to visit with a vengeance. I know sometimes what triggers it and sometimes I don t. Very painful, just at the neck and small portion of the left shoulder. Lasts weeks, months and this episode is in the third week. I ice it, massage it, push up under the chin with little relief. Aleve is no help.
[|AI|]  Hello, What I can infer from your complaints is that you may be suffering from cervical spondylosis. It is a condition in which the cervical spine (neck part) will wear off and cause pinching of the nerves. It, in turn, will result in tingling and numbness of the arm and hand. There are various aggravating factors like poor posture, jerky movements which can aggravate these common treatment measures are physiotherapy. I would suggest you consult your orthopedic surgeon to have a look. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
