Cervical disc herniation is a degenerative condition where disc material protrudes and compresses a nerve in the neck leading to the arm.
The onset is often quite sudden and unpredictable. It is common for people just to wake up in the morning with a crick in their neck and then feel a sharp stabbing pain down their nerve in the arm.
Other symptoms include tingling, numbness and weakness in the arm or hand.
