Fran,

I've occasionally had radiating pain through my neck and into my arm that has lasted for a number of weeks. In my case, the scans have shown some nerve compression and arthritis in the cervical spine region, but nothing more suspicious than that. I've tried to focus on stretching exercises and generally the pain has subsided after awhile.
