hi , i have have pins and needles in index finger and thumb pain shooting up my right arm shoulder and neck...i had a ct cervical spine test and the results show at C6-7 level there is posterolateral disc herniation impressing on the thecal sac slightly towards the right side but not extending into the right neural exit foramen. the left neural exit foramen is free of compromise and disc material. At the C1-2 level no abnormalities are seen. at the C2-3 C3-4 C4-5 C5-6 and C7-T1 levels there are no disc herniations or other abnormality. The regions of the neural exit foramina appear free of compromise and disc material, there is no significant impression on the thecal sac. i have had this pain for 6 weeks. koula
