Anyone know about Cervical radicolopophy?

I have a pain in the back of my neck which when it gets real bad will travel to the right side of my shoulder, down my right arm, to my elbow and sometime all the way down to my fingertips.  Pain started about 3 years ago and upto about the last 6 months has become a bit more manageable but has never fully healed. Doctoers did a bunch of test until they finally found that I had nerve damage in the C5, C6, C7 vertabrae. Is this something I should continue to check out?

if muscle weakness develops you will need fusion surgery..start with the most conservative treatment, but if you are still in pain don't put off the surgery...nerve damage can leave you with permanent muscle loss...stay in touch with the neurologist.

I would suggest with neck and shoulder pain that you probably need an MRI scan to see if there's pressure on the nerve or something. A more complete evaluation may open up other treatment options for you.
