I have had a c-5, c-6 fusion and I have been experiencing severe nerve pain on my right side of neck which goes down to my shoulder and underneath my scalpula to my upper shoulder and down my arm. Sometimes its so painful that i cry and cant use my right arm at all. I get headaches and severe pain from this problem. I have seen an orthopedic surgeon which says its not from my shoulder but my spine.
Yes this is from your spine. Our nerves arise from our spines which when diseased or compressed, results into severe pain in all the areas supplied by that particular nerve.in your case it might be C6 or c 7 nerve root
