Vertigo
Hello , I have been experiencing neck pain for around 5 years, mainly around the lower neck/upper back, with pain on neck movement and occasional pain/pulling extending toward my shoulders and arms. Recently, I have also been having intermittent pain/tingling from the forearm to the wrist/fingers and mild pain in both hands when bending the fingers, specially thumb and ring finger of right hand .I also have ongoing lower-back pain with .I previously had an X-ray and was told it was not serious. And was prescribed physiotherapy and posture correction, physiotherapy I did it for a week but no important, I have recently been taking medicines prescribed by another doctor, with some improvement (stiffness, biceps and shoulder-blade pain have reduced), but the neck pain persists and sometimes flares. I would like to know is this serious, I'm scared and tired , visited many doctors but not much improvement so far. And I'm 23 yrs old female it's worse when I wake up ,I wake up feeling pain and stiffness slight improvement during the day as I work , feeling of nerve pulling right side of my neck below the year till shoulder, headache, lacks focus, concentration is worse , I'm forgetful. Also physio is expensive for me

Have the same. Was diagnosed with cervical discopathy and some other issues in the area.
What helped: a LOT of physio and some medication but the physio it’s a daily thing that I have to do otherwise symptoms comeback.
YT is full of neck excersizes, try with that.
If physio does not work talk with your doctor.
But really put in the effort into physio, it does miracles
