Frequently asked questions
Why would neck problems cause arm pain?
The nerves that supply your arms come from your neck. Irritation there can cause pain, numbness or tingling further down the arm.
When is arm or leg numbness urgent?
Sudden weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body, needs emergency care right away.
