What causes my arms to experience numbness, pain, and difficulty in movement?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Given that your symptoms affect both sides and initiate from one side, it could potentially be related to a neurological issue. One possibility is cervical spondylosis, a degenerative condition affecting the neck's spinal discs and joints. Another potential diagnosis could be Raynaud's disease, which can cause numbness in the arms and hands. In my professional opinion, it is advisable to seek consultation with a neurologist, as a comprehensive medical history, as well as a thorough physical and neurological examination, is essential for an accurate diagnosis. You may also require an X-ray of the cervical spine or an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the spine, depending on the clinical evaluation. To minimize the risk, it is advisable to avoid excessive neck movements. Please consult a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
