Attention: Right Shoulder Pain and loss of feeling in outside right arm into two small fingers in right hand due to pinched nerve in C-6, C-7 area.

Had a cortisone shot six weeks ago and lasted only 2 weeks. Severe pain now. Have been going to PT regularly.
Anyone tried a neck traction device and comment on how successful or not it has been for you. Thx. TB

Yes, Traction for neck helped me. But be sure they start at low settings and dont increase quickly either. For my back it backfired and caused worse pain. Recommend wearing a neck brace . I also had to back off on PT. In my experience many of them push too hard and over exercise you, they caused me worse pain problems. Finally found one who is very gentle, uses neuromodulation and never exercises me when in pain.
