Could an extra cervical vertebrae cause pain in the right forearm and fingers?

It is unlikely that an extra cervical vertebrae would directly cause pain in the right forearm and fingers. Pain in the forearm and fingers is more commonly related to issues in the nerves or muscles in the arm, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or a pinched nerve in the neck or wrist. It would be best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Does running make you shorter?
yes actually um no. maybe whilst your running, your vertebrae could bend slightly due to the pressure but once you get rest it straightens out because of the cartilage that is in between your spinal vertebrae. The cartilage is a gel-like substance and it is there for protection. So no worries, just don't listen to scientists and conduct your own experiments:)

You found a whale vertebrae on the beach what can you tell about the whale in which the vertebrae was once in?
You can narrow down the potential species it may belong to by checking out which species are commonly found in your area. Once you have that narrowed down, you can use a bone atlas but would have to do that for each species until you found it, or you could take it to a local university or college (which will likely have a marine science department if you are coastal) and someone will likely help you identify your bone.
What causes twitching in the human forearm?
Twitching, little muscle spasms, could be caused by dehydration and lack of calcium and potassium. No matter what the cause, a physician should address this problem. If the twitching is painful, it may be some type of inflammation in the nerve or neuritis.
What measurement system often uses body parts for a substitute of measurements?
The cubit was the first documented record of a specified length, and was the length of an average forearm of a person. Joints of fingers gave "inch" its standard length, and the height of horses is still measured in "hands." Measurement of lengths and heights arose from body parts, as these were standard things that people carried around with them. No set "system" in particular exists for the use of these standards, but many standards we have today were derived from them.
Does neck and shoulder pain cause the pinky and ring fingers to be sore?
If you have low neck problems, some of your lower cervical vertebrae could be mal-aligned, which can lead to pain or numbness in your 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers. Suggest going to a chiropractor
What is the vertebral formula of the swine?
I think there's a mistake somewhere in the Thoracic vertebrae, where you stated 17. Adding the total vertebrae above gives a total of 49, whereas it was stated that the total vertebrae of chicken is 39!. Could that be a typographical error in the computation of thoracic vertebrae of chicken?
What does left arm numbness and tingling in the left fingers also pain in the upper back between shoulder blade indicate?
This is a symptom of many different things. Could be as simple as a pinched nerve, or as serious as a stroke. Because you mention the pain in the right shoulder, right below or around the shoulder blade, this could be a symptom of a herniated nucleos pulposus, (HNP) Herniated disk in your cervical vertebrae. Depending on where the numbness and tingling radiates to in your fingers, is it into your thumb and index finger or does it include the the pinky finger? Make an appointment with your doc and ask for a Cervical MRI, you may find you have a C6-C7 herniation.

Can a doctor use his fingers to test for pregnancy after 3 days?
No there is no way to test using your fingers you can how ever tell if you are ovulating or not by using your fingers by checking the cervical mucus and the position of the cervix if it is low and firm like the tip of your nose then you are not ovulating if it is high and closed then you could be ovulating if it is high and closed it can mean you are pregnant but it is still better to take a test to be sure it could be closed because the cervix is getting ready to lower and start your period.
Can you get pain in your elbow with carpal tunnel?
Not usually, you can sometimes get "retrograde" symptoms that go up the forearm from the wrist from CTS. However, you may have elbow pathology..something like lateral or medial epicondylitis (tennis/golfers elbow) or you could have ulnar neuritis or cubital tunnel syndrome. This ulnar nerve passes through the elbow joint and can give you symptoms at the elbow and DOWN the forearm into the hand(4th and 5th fingers) where as CTS effects the first 2-3 fingers typically.
What causes intense pain in fingers-not carpal tunnel syndrome?
If the pain is in your pinky and ring fingers, it could indicate a disk herniation in the cervical spine. Most people don't realize that the cervical (neck) nerves control our arms and fingers, and nerve compression there is felt in the arm and / or fingers. If you've ever had a whiplash occurrence, you're more susceptible to this problem. The disks involved are usually the C5/6 or C6/7 disks. You might even feel some pain in your shoulder. Getting it corrected cannot be overstated - without proper diagnosis and treatment, eventual paralysis can set in, or nerve damage as well. The best person to see for this is a Neurosurgeon - they can easily tell if your problem is cervical disk related. So you understand how easy it is for this to be misdiagnosed, my own cervical disks were severely damaged and the pain in my arm and fingers was excruciating. I was misdiagnosed by 5 doctors before a Neurosurgeon, without any tests, looked at me for about 5 seconds and knew what the problem was.

Your ct myelogram shows c6-c7 a broad based central disc protrusion causing some cavity anterior thecal sac and does not appear to laterlize on either side could this cause you to stumble walking some?
Not unless you're dizzy. This is likely from the post procedure Radiologist's report. What it says is that the CT scan after dye injection and shaking you on the table like a martini (or just rotating you up and down a bit) shows that you have a mild disk bulge at your C6/7 disk (the disk between Cervical (neck) vertebrae 6 and 7, which are fairly low down the neck) doesn't appear to be bulging on the sides (laterally) which could press on a nerve. Your cervical disks do not affect your walking at all - the cervical area controls and affects your arms, hands, fingers and associated nerves. The legs are controlled by the lumbar area, mid point of the back to the tailbone. UNLESS the cervical cord is impinged enough to be damaged. Then symptoms can occur anywhere below the level of spinal cord damage.
