What this is, is a reason to go see your Dr, don't mess with it.
Or a disk in your neck, I had that 6 and 7 in my neck, and it caused weakness in my shoulder.
You could have a pinched nerve in your neck. These are exactly the symptoms I had. Please see your GP or Neurologist. Write back if you have any questions.
There are discs between your spine's vertebra (bone). As early as the 30's people may begin getting bulging or herniated discs. The softer-than-bone disc has an outer material that holds the more liquid-like inner material inside the disc. The discs cushion the bones' activity so you don't feel bone rubbing on bone. When a disc bulges it can push against your spinal nerves which are very close. A herniated disc means a tear in the outer layer of the disc. The inner material runs out of the disc and can also place pressure on a nerve.
It's the pressure on the nerve that causes the symptoms you've listed.
