I have been diagnosed with right formical disc protrusion in c5/6 which has completely compromised the right c6 foramen and has compressed the nerve root..

I have had a nerve block which has relieved my arm pain.

But I have been on 150mg zydol,2.5mg vallium and 50mg anti inflamatries twice a day for 8 months now..

Constant head aches and neck pain has returned since gp has cut my med down..(so I can use machinery at work)..

I hope your situation isnt like mine..

I have been told by my physio to push my chin back while standing tall, this recreates the arm pain so I dont do it.

Hey martin,
I read your problem and felt the need to reply, I do not know whether my answer is accurate for your situation, but its just a thought. Your probably putting too much preasure on that particular arm both in the day and during the night. Maybe at night your leaning on it? You said if you hang your arm off the bed it goes, try keeping your arm out of the bed all night if you can! Also you may have something wrong with the nerves in your arm, trapped nerve maybe? Sometimes things like this can also be brought on by stress!! Anyway I would advise you to see a doctor as I am only a teenager, so I can only give some ideas on what it maybe, the information I have given may not be even relavant with your case, however I did try!

Do you by any chance have carpal tunnel syndrome?
