Agony during sleep, neck/back pain all day and night

Look up foraminal stenosis with cervical nerve root impingement and see if that sounds like what you have.

Hi Vanc_WA_PT, Thank you for the reply. I had a look at the foraminal stenosis with cervical nerve root impingement and it sounds very much like what I'm experiencing, although I only get the pain down my arm when I stand completely straight. Shouldn't I be experiencing pain down my arm at the same time my neck's hurting? I don't use my left arm very much - it's pretty weak, and clunks around a bit, and obviously there's something not quite right there, as it doesn't move in it's socket like it should - but I've no idea why it's not radiating pain at the same time as my neck/back.
