Symptoms of Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy can present acute pain, as with a traumatic ruptured disc, or can present pain of a more chronic and intermittent nature, as is seen in foraminal narrowing caused by bone spurs in the spine.
Typically, cervical radiculopathy affects the inferior nerve root at C5, C6 and C7 levels.
C5 Radiculopathy Symptoms
- Deltoid weakness
- Pain in the shoulder and the upper part of the lateral arm
- Paresthesias in the more distal part of the affected dermatome
C6 Radiculopathy Symptoms
- Biceps or brachioradialis weakness
- Hyporeflexia
- Paresthesias and frank sensory loss: more distal, and can extend into the hand
C7 Radiculopathy Symptoms
- Pain extending into the distal forearm or hand
- Root compression produces triceps weakness and a decreased triceps reflex
- Sensory loss in the hand
