I sleep on my sides at night and have trouble with tingling down the arms and into the hands and, with my arms & hands going to sleep. Dosn't matter what side I sleep on.
My question is could this be related to problems with the cervical spine?
(I'm unable to sleep on my back due to doing so causes increased pain of the lumbar spine)
This is what my most recent MRI reads:
There is moderate left lateral protrusion of the C5-6 disc. This is causing pressure on the anterior left side of the cord and on the orgin of the left nerve root as it enters the neural foramen.
C4-5 There is mild to moderate spondyletic change with anterior spurring.
C6-7 There is mild spondyletic change with mild anterior spurring.
Thanks for your help.

I have a lot of those same symptoms and dx. I also have had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery. I have a lot of trouble with my neck and back still. Sound like your pain could be from what your MRI is showing.
