Dear Doctor,

For the past couple of months I have been experiencing neck pain/stiffness and sever pain in the shoulders and arms, pain radiating down to my fingers as well. The pain is more left sided..i.e if I get pain it is 80% on the left side and 20% on the right side. I had my cervical x ray taken and it suggest of cervical Spondylosis. I have occasional swelling near my collar bone as well and this again is left sided. I have been suggested a CT next week.

My doubt is why is it that the problem affects my left side more and is the swelling near collar bone related to spondylosis, should mention it is a very light swelling though and occurs occasionally. The pain in the shoulders and arms have reduced a lot and I am still not on to any meds.

I am 38 year old Female.
