[@MM-yi9zn]

This is the Best Ever explanation of my hand & arm issues. Thanks SO much.

[@alberto-4642]

I don't understand how someone could dislike your videos. Great information, really practical and daily work transferable. Keep doing this, very helpful Doc!

Alberto - Thank you

Clearly one of the best teachers out there, you make such a complicated subject so easy , love those animated videos .

[@lexc8714]

Cannot thank you enough sir. You are one of the rare ones across the world who is generous and willing to teach. Gracias ❤

[@jamesjarman5003]

great talk but as a pain doctor i'd add a few things to treatment. First NSAIDS / anti inflammatories are often not effective for nerve pain. Try nerve pain medications such as amitriptyline/ nortriptyline, duloxetine or pregabalin/ gabapentin. Second there is the option of epidural injections / pulsed radiofrequency for symptoms that don't improve with medication before going on to surgery.

[@DoktorCay]

There is no speciality called pain doctor so keep your options for yourself

[@premkumarsinha3672]

excellent way to explain the cervical radiculopathy. thank you

[@MichellePresleyvocalbrat]

This was invaluable to me as someone who has been diagnosed with cervical nerve compression. It helped me make sense of my MRIs so I'm more informed of what to expect when I see my neurologist. Clear, concise, and to the point. Thank you!!!

[@jembenben]

Thank you, Dr. Ebraheim for this information. It helped me understand my condition better. I am currently under physical therapy and medication because of cervical radiculopathy that causes me to have neuropathic pain. Your explanation helped me understand why I feel painful pins and needles on certain parts of my hands and back in relation to C6 and C7 as what I have also heard from my doctor. Thank you.

Very informative. I been dealing with these problems for years. Never total relief injured neck wrestling in high school back in the 70,s. Retired now and only answer is surgery. Most info in such a short video. Both my sons in there forties have spine arthritis and my oldest son that is 6 ft.6 had to have plate in his neck 5 years ago with some permanent drop foot. If arthritis is in your family any spine injury at any age can come back and haunt you latter in life.

Two drs let me go with bone spurs (since 2018) another one over one year with a pinched nerve with a negative nerve conduction test!!

I'm a former EMT and I'm not happy with any of these two drs.

[@pam7349]

@@AbcDef-fd7kg Make sure you keep this video. Get yourself a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon who listens to you about your pain and will do the appropriate tests. If they are not following standard treatment for your c spine pain, get another Dr who will listen to you. This video may be the one to show them. Best to you!!

I fell down and started having muscle stiffness in right trap muscle and numbness in last two fingers of right hand for first 2 months i didnt went to hospital i thought it would go away later on pain started to increase more and i visited one doctor he said that i was suffering from trapezius tendonitis and it would go away from 3rd month i started having twitchings all over body but they are not painful they would just come and go and pain wasnt going away so after 6 months from falling down i visited many doctors they all would say it is just muscle stiffness nothing serious with it and it would go away but 1 doctor suggested to go for MRI for cervical spine so i went and i found that i have mild disc bulge in c3-c4 segment, loss of cervical lordosis and multilevel partial disc changes so pain from right hand has spread to left hand as well and i even went to massages for pain relief for almost 5-6 sittings , no other symptoms are there and my vitamin D level, vitamin b12 levels are good and i even went for thyroid blood test it is also good as of now pain almost seems to be gone in both hands but few times my last two fingers go numb after waking up from sleep in both hands and muscle twitchings are still there and they are coming all over body. Can anyone please suggest what should i do now..?

[@mushroomleg]

This was very helpful, doctor Schwarzenegger. I went to the ER thinking I was having a stroke/heart attack cause of the arm pain, but they diagnosed me with possible cervical radiculopathy. The fact that the pain lessens when I elevate my left arm was the smoking gun. Thank u again.

[@starlite7785]

Did u feel vertigo?

[@mushroomleg]

No!

[@solitude4562]

What did you end up doing to get better? Like what treatment or treatments

[@mushroomleg]

Unfortunately it took months of physical therapy to make the pain finally stop. One of the worst things I’ve ever physically experienced. If you do indeed have it now stay strong and keep that arm elevated. People will think you’re constantly trying to politely ask a question but at least u feel a little better.

[@Fuphyter]

My neck is shot. Herniations, foraminal stenosis, radiculopathy and other issues from C1 to C7. Shoulder joint and major trap issues. It started in my 30s and now I'm 65. It causes pain constantly, just a small movement creates shooting nerve pain. I have Ehlers Danlose, Babesia and Lymes. The last 2 were never treated because of false negatives for years. I had knee surgery at 19 and finally got it replaced in 2014. Apparently, my joints and spine create bone spurs. I had shoulder surgery in my 30s for it. I was an architect and couldn't lift my arm one day to draw.

Thank you Dr Ebrahim, this video was very informative. I consulted a neurosurgeon last week and he advised me that the only way to rid the pain, would be surgery or he'll prescribed pain killers. I wasn't very happy with that and opted not to do the surgery. I'm sure with a few physical treatments, my pain will be relieved, God Willing

[@Rene-uz3eb]

from wiki, this is one of the potential causes: “Tarlov himself theorized that the perineural cysts form as a result of blockage of venous drainage in the perineurium and epineurium secondary to hemosiderin deposition, after local trauma.” hemosiderin is abnormal iron

[@carmensm8]

[@Rene-uz3eb]

@@carmensm8 nobody has tried this yet since it’s a rare disease. But in theory this is similar to arteriosclerosis, it’s the clogging of small veins (in the nerve itself this time) according to Tarlov, that builds the pressure to form cysts. Iron also plays a role in arteriosclerosis plaque. Since EDTA has been successfully used to remove plaque in arteriosclerosis, and it removes iron, I’d say it might work for Tarlov too. I use Arizona’s EDTA to reduce my iron, no side effects that I’ve seen. “We found convincing evidence that EDTA infusion therapy is effective in treating arteriosclerosis.” “We find it difficult not to conclude that EDTA chelation therapy is a safe, effective and cost-saving method of improving angina pectoris and intermittent claudication.” From Benefits of EDTA Chelation Therapy in Arteriosclerosis: A Retrospective Study of 470 Patients, 1993
