Shooting pain down your arm or pins and needles in your fingers might mean you have a pinched nerve in your neck.
First step? Go to the doctor! They'll check for disc slippage, degeneration, and arthritis. Dr. B dives into what to expect when you go to the doctor for neck pain or radiating pain that might stem from pinching a nerve in your neck.
Then, learn why the systems in your neck start deteriorating (sometimes as early as 30) and possibly lead to arthritis.
But there's good news. Many times, you won't need surgery for a pinched nerve. Coach E jumps in to show you three exercises you can do to ease the pressure and release muscular tension around your neck.
For the first exercise, take a moment to relax your shoulders and neck before you begin. Take deep breaths.
The second exercise only needs a convent wall to lean back against. It'll help decrease the muscle tension.
While doing the third exercise, keep mental tabs on your form, especially your shoulder girdle posture.
Frequency is helpful for this routine. Try to work it into your schedule one to three times a day, every day for two weeks, for best results.
