What are the symptoms of a cervical herniated disc?
Symptoms of cervical herniated disc may include: • Pain that radiates down the arm to the hand or fingers • Numbness or tingling in the shoulder, arm, or hands • Weakness of hand and or arms Certain positions or movements of the neck can intensify the pain. The symptoms of a cervical herniated disc often resemble other disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, problems with the rotator cuff, and gout. In some patients, a cervical herniated disc can cause spinal cord compression, where disc material pushes on the spinal cord. This is a much more serious condition and may require a more aggressive treatment plan.
