Hello. I have been having some pain/stiffness/numbness in my neck/shoulder/arm for several years on and off. About two weeks ago, someone pushed hard on my shoulder downward while I was sitting and my neck was not straight. That person did not hit, it was just a big push. My pain/numbness has increased. How likely is it to damage nerves or displace a cervical disc with that type of push? I am in the process of getting x-rays and MRI but I wanted to see what people thought to hopefully reduce my stress while I am waiting for the results.
