my husband has had two neck surgeries and is fused from c-3 to 3-7. he has pain, tingling and numbness radiating down his arms and his fingers are very painful and the skin is peeling. He says it feels like needles stabbing into his fingers. What do you think this might be. they said it could be carpal tunnel, but i refuse to believe that. Any direction would be appreciated.
Hi Went through your post as you have mentioned that your husband has known cervical vertebral disease and underwent for its surgery, and now has neuropathic pain in arms, it is obvious that he has compressive cervical neuropathy, I would suggest you start him on sustained release pregabalin 75\u00a0mg bet, although it may cause giddiness in early few days but will improve symptoms, and secondly he should avoid prolonged neck bending.
