Question
I am feeling a burning,aching pain on my sine right under my skull down between soulder blades and sometimes radiates down right arm to my elbow that is numb and tingles.Had an exray done and my spine is so straight the doctor said he could draw a perfect straight line with my spine no need for a ruler.I am seeing a specialist wed.What makes the pain and why is my spine so stright?

Answer
Lisha,

That kind of pain usually results from muscles in spasm.  One would expect such a spasm to induce a spinal curvature; since your spine is straight, but you have nerve pain in your right arm, I am mystified.  I would want to see your x-rays, if you were my client.

That's all I can say with the information I have.
