Arthritic Pain

[trixie_dar]

Shooting pains like electric shock down left arm to tips of my fingers. My doc ! Says it's arthritis. Do any other arthritis sufferers have this. Thanks in advance.

I've got arthritis but don't get anything like that. Just aches and pain in joint areas. That sounds more like a trapped nerve to me.

It could well be arthritic,

You don't say much about yourself.....age..weight...underlying medical problems , but yes, that could well be an arthritic wear and tear problem in your cervical spine (neck).

[Kathyan]

I'm obviously wrong then!

[Sqad]

Kathryn.......no you are not necessarily wrong.....medicine is all about opinions....and you are entitled to yours and you may well be right.
Not much to go on with the OP.

[woofgang]

you are both right....broadly the wear and tear traps the nerve.

[Sqad]

woofgang....correct.
