Hello, I am 33yrs old and I have stiffness in my right shoulder and neck. My arm and shoulder feel weak and the grip strength is poor. My arm gets numb and there is tingling in my fingers. I am unable to do basic exercises. I have tried acupressure..it only helps for a short time. I would like a permanent solution. What is ur diagnosis of the above symptoms..? Thank u. Sim
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. Since your symptoms looks closer to the nerve getting trap into the cervical spine it is giving you all the symptoms like - pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, etc. I will recommend you to take an MRI, so the extent of injury can be pr\u00e9cised.Also, most cases with such symptoms gets better with physical therapy. Like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. Also post that, simple neck exercises and then slowly strengthening the muscles of the upper limb will help to reduce the pain numbness also.90% of patients recover by physical therapy and then doing the same at home on a longer run will help you find a permanent relief. Also, acupressure will not stand for a long time since it's only a symptomatic time being relief. The pain you are facing is directly due to muscle weakness, once the muscle is stronger the problems are at 1%. Your full contribution is more important to get a permanent cure. I wish to see you soon without pain and aches. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery regards
