Got the result of my x-ray explained today and it turns out I have something called 'Osteophytosis' in my neck. Basically, we have 7 discs in our neck and turns out 2 of mine are wearing... what's more the reason my fingers have been going numb and painfully sore (plus other symptoms) is because the 2 discs which are wearing are the 2 which have to do with nerves. I have basically to ensure my posture is right when sitting and standing, not lift anything heavy, etc... plus keep taking the tablets! If things get any worse and I notice any weakness in my arm, etc - I have to go back asap. Apparently, Osteophytosis is a type of Arthritis. At least I know now! I guess I can count it a joy that it is not something more serious as it could be a lot worse :D

P.S. Thank you all for your good will wishes - you are a fab bunch and I appreciate every one who has posted :D
