I am a 46 year old female. I had a Cervical spine fussion c5-c7 in 2012; My last MRI shows that I have c4 and c8 disc herniation with minimal indentation touching the spinal cord. I am experiencing severe pain on my neck, shoulders and elbows with numbness on both of my hands.
Hi, You are having severe neuropathic pain secondary to nerve impingement by your fused spine. As a first line of management you can try analgesics like Gabapentin for pain relief. It is quite effective for neuropathic pain as in your case. If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
