What is Brachialgia?

Brachialgia is a condition where the nerves supplying the hands become irritated, typically at the neck, often due to cervical disc prolapse. This irritation causes pain radiating from the neck down to the hand, similar to how sciatica affects the legs. Individuals with brachialgia may find it difficult to keep their hand down and often feel relief by placing their hand on their head, mimicking the “hand on head” emoji gesture.
