I've had the similar symptoms for years, and it is always worse when it is colder in the truck when I sleep. Neuroligists and MRI made it sound like I had a bulging disk in my neck, and that was causing the nerve pinching. 2nd opinions went toward carpal tunnel, which I didn't really go for, as the nerve conduction tests were border line inconclusive. I stopped wearing the collared uniform shirts that were restrictive on my neck and shoulders, and that helped a ton! You may also get relief from a Chiropractor.

Chiropractor...now that is a scary thought..but it does work for some.

Call me old school, but any person (physician) that intentionally manipulizes joints AGAINST their natural movement, to me doesn't make sense. I did try one a couple times, but the pain I went to deal with, I came out in more pain.

Not my cup 'o tea!

Truckers are prone to a condition called "White Knuckle" disease-caused by years of vibration through the steering wheel. Look it up, might be some information for you there.
