Is it back pain?
I am 48 years old, my neck hurts frequently, the pain radiates to my right hand. Could this kind of pain come from the spine? ~ Zofia 50 years old
Neck pains radiating to the limbs, which you mention, are most often a symptom of degenerative changes in the joints of the spine, especially when they are associated with uncomfortable body position or sleep at night. However, it should not be forgotten that back pain can also be a symptom of other diseases, such as coronary heart disease or osteoporosis. X-ray examination of the spine in most adults shows various degrees of degenerative changes, so finding such changes will not exclude other causes of your ailments. A medical examination is very important. In order to establish an initial diagnosis and direct further diagnosis, it is best to visit your GP.
