Although my neck has been as crappy as my lumbar spine for some time, I haven't had too many issues with it - until the last few months. Pins and needles - numbness - pain radiating through my left shoulder blade down to my hand - dead index finger - no bicep reflex.
It all started with occasional pins and needles feeling in my hand - on and off for 2-3 months before the rest of the symptoms kicked in. Physical therapy has helped only a little, and I am scheduled for surgery in January.
You are wise to have it checked - even 'minor' pins and needles sensations can be an indication of a larger problem.
