My right arm pain started 4 months ago and has been spreading. I noticed that some days I didn't feel much pain. Instead, I would feel very stressed inside. It's like a bunch of nerves, from the tip of head to stomach, were shocked or inflamed. I speculate my body was unconsciously blocking the arm pain, and the blocking causes problems with other nerves.

This center-line nerve problem has been causing me various problems, not surprisingly, along this line. I've developed degenerative disc in my neck, verified by Xray. I have sharp pain at spots in my front throat, close to the center but slightly on the right. I also have sharp pain at a spot at the inside of clavicle bone near the center of chest. Yesterday I felt sharp pain at various spots at this line around my stomach, and made me really sick after eating lunch.

I learned a trick yesterday: if I try to relax, the pain along this line would be minimal. So today I actually don't have much pain, with either arm or this center line. However, my nausea was much more severe than yesterday and forced me to lie in bed. It's almost like pain would just move from one area to another. I'm afraid that I've developed internal RSD.

I've not read anything similar to what I have. What do you think?

Your spine is a straight line if you think about it. Pain can stem from your spine or muscles. Nerves branch out from your spine, like branches on a tree. I don't know if each problem is separate. I have lots of problems all at the same time which is why I mention it. lots and lots of possibilities. I hope you get some relief soon!!

Are you getting physical therapy for your neck? That is critical for degenerative disc disease. Also anti - infammatory meds if u can take them.
