Best way to explain and make it easy to understand by all . Encourages conservative treatment than surgical intervention to patients who are suffering from this problem. Excellent piece of advice and information. Thank you . Me’raj Sheikh

Great video.Precise yet very informative.Thanks

Great video and well laid out. Starting Memorial Day, 2013 I spiraled into an absolute unraveling case of cervical radiculopathy. Began with severe pain in my right shoulder, eventually landing in my biceps, forearm and thumb & index finger. Once into the am and hand I didn't get ANY REM sleep for about 9 weeks. Managed cat naps of 15-30 minutes here and there, always awoken by severe pain and numbness. Eventually got an MRI showing a while out of damage in my neck, including an asymptomatic rupture ad c2-c3 and bulging and ruptured disc's at c4-c5, c5-c6 & c6-c7. Without insurance I was struggling to find ANY surgeon to assist, and by early Fall, the pain was giving way to weakness. Couldn't lift a cup of coffee or use a pen or utensils anymore-problematic as I am right handed! My local pain management doctor, who I've seen for years to treat permanent damage caused by 4 operations at l4-l5, told me, in late September, that my Window was quickly closing and I was starting permanent nerve damage in the face. Then, my saviors at MUSC in Charleston got me in, looked at the scans & did a physical examination and determined I was at roughly 85% loss in strength and needed "Emergency Intervention" - had a2 level, c5-c7 acdf done right before Thanksgiving, 2013 and regained 100% strength immediately following surgery, which AMAZED the surgeon and staff! All was going great until recently. Now, my left arm has gone crazy and I am scheduled to see my surgeon (this time WITH insurance!) April 8 for an MRI & CT Scan... If my fingers on my left hand were not absolutely ON FIRE, I'd cross them. But, since the pain is too great I shall cross just those on my right arm and hope for the best... though I have a feeling SOMETHING is very awry!

Thank you very much 🇯🇲

I have never seen a clearer explanation better than this. I wish I was as informed as this. However, I still have these mentioned symptoms even after surgery. Is there anything I can do?

I can't thank you enough Dr. one of the best videos I've seen about the topic.

Terima kasih

Excellent explanation! I have epidural steroid injections for my DDD (degenerative disc disease) that help greatly to relieve neck/shoulder pain, pins/needles shooting down arms, and difficulty with numbness in thumbs and pointer fingers. I, literally, can not hold onto objects as my thumb and pointer fingers become weak and numb. The injections help for about 4-6 months. Heat pad around neck helps as well as neck exercises.

Thank you for explaining this with really helpful insight! Ive been suffering from this for 4 yrs and few neuro & ortho drs I’ve seen refuse to do surgery after ive exhausted everything conservative! Im tired of suffering/ bed ridden 😡.

Nice explanation for cervical radiculopathy.

I have been feeling numbness and irritable pain in my legs

Can you do one on ankylosing spondylitis.

Thanks,I am suffering from it since 30 days started with stiff neck. My moment of neck is ok but pain radiates through left arm in initial phase now it's only fixed to triceps n shoulder area . Sometimes pain is not there but at stretching of the nerves it comes back. Do need to take MRI? My physiotherapist says,it will be cured by therapy n exercise

Clinical usefulness of oral supplementation with curcumin phytosome in patients with radiculopathy, 2016 RESULTS: There was a marked reduction in pain rating, statistically significant both at 50 and 100 days from baseline

+Paul R. Jeffords I don't have a herniated disc or a tumor but I'm not sure what's causing my case of cervical radiculopathy from nerve root c6. In the x-ray, I have a straight neck (and it's very stiff and tender). I haven't experienced any trauma or injury, so I'm not sure how this came about? Also how do I deal with the pain when trying to sleep. Whenever I recline my neck hurts and the pain radiates into my arm. It feels like my shoulder/arm is going to fall off. I can't lie down because of the excruciating pain; what are alternative sleeping positions that can give me a good night rest?

Hi I fell and hit my head in the bathtub I here like sound in my neak I don't koen it the never when I sleep I gst dizzy i can't take a nap no more cause I fell ill I have cervical in th up sine and I get the saking I don't kown what it is I don't koen what to do 😔🙁

I had foranotomy. 2 days ago. Pain in arm and hand came back. What exactly does this mean

Dr Jeffords , you speak so we'll !

what happens if your only 15 years old with pain almost going in 2 years?

I have L4 L5 disk herniation since mri from 1998 also have cervical neck pain with frequent occurances of pain and numbness sensation that radiates from the cervical area down bilateral through elbows outer arms to my wrist and outer fingers from Middle to pinky the flexibility of these fingers become difficult during these episodes can you please tell me which upper back disks can cause this problem? isn't this condition called ridiculopitry? is there a tedt to diagnos this condition or is it subjective? this condition is getting progressively worse as time passes. thanks

Whew that's better explanation I got nothing to complain hospital but I have to follow the therapy I'm really sure stupid with my comment instant cure or lacking in understanding where I live atleast I can follow these explaination which a relief to my oxygen :v
