Is this an early symptom of a cervical disc...?
Lately, when I use the computer for a long time, I've been feeling tingling and pain from my right shoulder blade down to my arm for a week now. Should I go to the hospital? I looked it up and it seems similar to the early symptoms of a cervical disc, so I'm a bit scared.

Yeah, go to the hospital. If it's been a week, it's highly likely a nerve issue.
You sound just like me. I also went to the hospital because my shoulder and arm were numb, and they said it was early-stage cervical disc. I'm doing manual therapy now, and it has gotten a bit better.
If you feel numbness from your shoulder down to your arm, it's likely a pinched nerve in the cervical spine. An MRI would give you a more accurate answer.
Well, that's a bit... Don't be too scared by what you find when searching. Going to the hospital is the answer, but there are many similar symptoms even if it's not a cervical disc.
Oh, same here these days lol I should stretch.
Using a computer for a long time makes you ache all over. But if it persists for over a week, you should see a doctor. Early treatment is important.
Go to the hospital right away. I ignored it and the numbness in my arm spread to my wrist. Get treated early.
Haha, you're just like me. I suspected the same thing and went to the hospital, but it turned out to be forward head posture. Not a herniated disc. You should get it checked out.
Got a source? Actually, searching for early symptoms of cervical disc issues usually lists arm numbness first, but there are other conditions like thoracic outlet syndrome, so you can't be definitive.
A week is already a long time. It usually clears up within two days. Don't put off going to the hospital. I left mine alone for 3 weeks and it only got worse.
