\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cervical radiculopathy can cause symptoms to occur which tend to radiate out and away from the neck. This means that even though the problem is in the spine, the symptoms may also be felt into the shoulder, further along into the arm, and right down into the hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms will usually be felt most prominently in the area where the nerve is located or where it travels. There are lots of potential symptoms that someone with cervical radiculopathy can expect to experience and 8 of those symptoms are listed and expanded upon here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One person may experience all of these symptoms whilst another may experience one or two. The list is here for information purposes only and anyone who suspects that they might have cervical radiculopathy would be best advised to seek medical help and advice at the earliest possible opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t suffer in silence or try to get through the pain if you have any of these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Swelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swelling <\/a>is one possible symptom of this condition that people could quite happily do without. Swelling in the neck can make movement really difficult for anyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few activities that become virtually impossible when cervical radiculopathy causes swelling. These activities include driving, which must be avoided should serious swelling occur. The reason for this is that even if you tell yourself you\u2019re operating well enough through the pain barrier, the limitations of the swelling in terms of rotation and bending will cause too much of a blockage for you when you\u2019re looking to see if a road is clear of it\u2019s safe to enter a roundabout or a junction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone with cervical radiculopathy will develop swelling and swelling in the neck is not always a sign of cervical radiculopathy. It could be, but then again you might have just been stung by a bee. Swelling though, it\u2019s not fun at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Numbness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Numbness <\/a>is another symptom that could affect a person suffering from cervical radiculopathy. Numbness is a symptom that can be very hard to understand as some people tend to push it to the back of the queue in terms of importance and threat to health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some numbness can be a result of inactivity or even from lying on a particular spot for too long, but extended periods of numbness felt on one or both sides of the neck could be more reason for concern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of numbness alone does not usually cause one to believe that cervical radiculopathy is behind it, but the occurrence of numbness with one or two of the other symptoms mentioned here could be as clear an indication as one is likely to get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice if you are worried or if any of the symptoms begin to worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Tingling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No one wants to feel tingling <\/a>in their neck for an extended period of time. The feeling might not necessarily be too painful, but it can be just about as annoying as it\u2019s possible for a symptom to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not talking about the first love or first kiss kind of tingly feeling here, or even the hair sticking up on your neck horror movie tingle either. This tingling sensation is one that tends to come on in conjunction with numbness and swelling and can last for periods of time stretching from a few hours to a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people are able to power on through symptoms like this, seeking distractions rather than a total cessation of the tingling, and there have been stories of famous sportspeople continuing to perform at high levels whilst experiencing these symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sportspeople have gone on to develop cervical radiculopathies and found further problems down the line, all because they ignored the tingling sensation when it first arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Neck Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cervical radiculopathy <\/a>can be a real pain in the neck, literally and metaphorically. Even turning the neck slightly to one side can be problematic for someone with the condition as the pain can be so debilitating that it causes them to flinch at the slightest movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People suffering from the condition have even claimed that the pain makes them feel as though they are wearing some kind of electric shock collar that punishes them for any kind of unplanned movement or unexpected shock absorption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s pretty hard to ascertain to work out whether it\u2019s the literal pain in the neck that is the worst thing to deal with or whether it is the metaphorical pain in the neck. Neither is particularly pleasant to deal with, but both can be a complete nightmare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of reasons besides cervical radiculopathy that could explain someone\u2019s neck pain and so it is always advisable to seek the guidance and advice of a medical professional before jumping to any conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Headaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are so many reasons why someone might suffer from headaches<\/a>. Cervical radiculopathy is something that has the capability to cause headaches with ferocious power, and the pain that comes from these types of headaches can linger for a very long period of time, coming on in shocking waves and only responding to the most potent natural remedies and the strongest prescription or over the counter medications. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One person who suffered from headaches caused by cervical radiculopathy described their pain to researchers claiming that it felt as though they had a skull cap drilled into their skull from the back of the neck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They went on to say that it felt as though someone was tightening the nuts and screwing the screws of this imaginary torture device as the day went on. Well, that sounds pretty horrendous, so here\u2019s hoping you never have to experience headaches caused by a case of cervical radiculopathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Depression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depression <\/a>and other mental illnesses are things that are coming more and more into the public conscience. This can only be a good thing as for too long now, people have suffered in silence about their mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions such as this painful and long-term one can cause people to experience low mood that goes way beyond simple sadness. Feelings of hopelessness and despair are sometimes made even worse by feelings of wanting to hurt oneself or even suicidal thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depression is almost an unseen symptom of cervical radiculopathy, but only in comparison to some of the other symptoms and only because people living with it can be quite skillful at keeping it hidden from view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that it\u2019s OK not to be OK and the only way to get through a crisis is to open up and talk about how you\u2019re feeling in a safe and non-judgmental environment of mutual support and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Restricted Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Any kind of issue with the spine <\/a>or neck has the potential to cause real problems and even restrictions with movement. The amount of movement that comes from the neck can be really underestimated as it is one of the constantly moving parts of our musculoskeletal system that we perhaps take for granted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restricted movement in the neck caused by cervical radiculopathy can range from the inconvenient to the annoying and right through to the life-changing and debilitating. Simple household chores like washing the pots or cooking can become uphill struggles with restricted movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working out or exercising will also prove to be difficult in the extreme, whilst getting out in the car or going to work can be pretty much impossible, especially as driving with restricted movement is never a good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frustrating thing about having restricted movement is that the treatment advice often focuses on the need to keep an area moving and mobile. Easier said than done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Nausea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain can knock you sick, it’s a fact, and pain from cervical radiculopathy is no different. Feeling nauseous whilst dealing with the other associated symptoms of cervical radiculopathy is nothing unusual, in fact, it’s fairly typical for sufferers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study of people with the condition that took place in a spinal hospital in Geneva found that 80% of people with cervical radiculopathy reported feeling nauseous <\/a>whilst receiving treatment for their other symptoms. Of that 80%, the vast majority were prescribed anti-sickness tablets to help them deal with the sickly feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you will have realized by now, none of these symptoms are particularly pleasant to have to deal with, but when they come in conjunction with one another it can make the experience of having to deal with cervical radiculopathy incredibly difficult, extremely painful, and miserable from start to finish. The symptoms of cervical radiculopathy are grim, sorry about that, they just are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Grip Weakness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The trauma from the injury may manipulate the cervical spine, causing temporary dislocation or movement of the joints (vertebrae_ in your neck. As the joints extend, they may trap nerves in the cervical spine, causing the onset of pain symptoms and a loss of function in the shoulders and upper limbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people with Cervical radiculopathy<\/a> state they lose grip strength. They may find it hard to keep their hands tightly gripped around a glass or the TV remote, dropping it to the floor. This grip weakness comes from the trapped nerves failing to initiate the right nervous response to the muscular system. In most cases, this problem resolves itself as the patient recovers from the injury. Most patients don’t need surgical intervention to recover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it helps to get regular physiotherapy sessions to help increase your mobility and recover your strength. Eventually, the patient will make a full recovery and return their grip strength to its original levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

10. Occipital Neuralgia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cervical radiculopathy occurs in the wake of a traumatic event such as a car accident that leaves the affected individual with a whiplash<\/a> injury. The effects of cervical radiculopathy may also interfere with the normal function of the C2 or C3 nerve roots, pinching them in-between the discs or vertebrae of the cervical spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pinching effect induces sharp, severe pain, inducing migraines and headaches in the affected individual. Some people may describe the pain as someone poking them in the eye with an ice pick. Occipital Neuralgia usually produces pain in the back of the patient’s head or around the occipital area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, Occipital Neuralgia will, like Cervical radiculopathy, resolve independently, without the need for surgical intervention. However, each case is different, and your doctor will tailor your treatment for the extent of the injury and your condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategies like medications and using a memory foam pillow can help you reduce the pain your experience from Cervical radiculopathy and Occipital neuralgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

11. Weakness in the Shoulders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cervical radiculopathy involves an injury to the cervical spine and the network of nerves moving through the skeletal structure. During the traumatic event inducing the injury leading to the condition, the person experiences damage to the normal function of the nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disruption occurs due to trauma shifting the normal position of the cervical spine, leading to sprains <\/a>or damage to the vertebrae and the discs. When the cervical spine shifts, it may trap or pressure nerves leading down through the shoulders and arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the affected individual notices that they sometimes lose strength in their forearms and wrists, causing them to lose their grip on objects they pick up. In some cases, the loss of nerve response in the arms may also lead to muscular atrophy and significant muscle wasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weakness in the shoulders will gradually return as the patient recovers from the injury. Most patients will fully recover the strength, range of motion, and muscle mass in their arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

12. Severe Complications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Typically, people that experience cervical radiculopathy will not require surgical intervention for the problem. They’ll make a full recovery naturally using physiotherapy and medication to fast-track the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in some cases of cervical radiculopathy, the patient may experience complications. The affected individual might not get immediate medical treatment for the problem, leaving it undiagnosed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the extent of the injury might not appear for days or weeks, and the patient is at risk of developing severe complications due to not receiving a diagnosis <\/a>for their condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the patient experiences fever, sensations of nausea, and vomiting, it could be a sign of an infection. Infections could be life-threatening, and the affected individual should visit the emergency room for immediate treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People experiencing delayed symptoms from cervical radiculopathy may also notice they feel sleepy all the time. If you notice this symptom, it could be a sign of severe neural damage, have someone take you to the emergency room as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

13. Risk Factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As with all disorders, cervical radiculopathy has a specific set of risk factors making it more common in some people than in others. If you find yourself in the risk categories mentioned below, take the necessary precautions to prevent injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Truckers and delivery people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        People who spend a lot of time driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Motorcyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        People who participate in contact or combat spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest risk group for cervical radiculopathy is in people that spend a lot of time driving. Eventually, most people get in an accident, and they may experience whiplash from the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whiplash is a common problem for people in car accidents, especially severe ones. The sudden stop makes the head move forward with inertia, affecting the cervical spine, possibly dislocating the joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors grade the extent of the whiplash. They’ll treat it with the necessary physiotherapy<\/a> and medication to ensure the patient gets a rapid recovery\u2014most people with whiplash that develop cervical radiculopathy recover without needing surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

14. Diagnosis and Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re experiencing cervical radiculopathy, your doctor will examine your neck, shoulders, and arms, looking for signs of weakness <\/a>in the limbs. They’ll also check your reflexes and ask you if you notice any loss of sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your doctor may ask you to move your arms in specific directions to see if it initiates the pain response. If your doctor suspects cervical radiculopathy, they will order tests to confirm the diagnosis. Your physician will book you in for an MRI or X-ray, or both to look at the damage to the nerves and skeletal structure of the cervical spine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After diagnosing cervical radiculopathy, your doctor will make treatment recommendations based on your condition. They may recommend using soft support collars and physiotherapy to resolve the pain and stress in the neck, loosening the shoulders and releasing any trapped nerves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most patients with cervical radiculopathy make a full recovery naturally, without the need for surgical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
