Cervical discogenic radiculopathy refers to a condition where a cervical disc, which is a cushioning structure between the vertebrae in the neck, is damaged or degenerated and is pressing on a nerve root in the neck. This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, and hands.
The symptoms of cervical discogenic radiculopathy may include neck pain, radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the shoulders, arms, and hands. These symptoms may be worsened by certain movements or positions, such as bending the neck forward or turning the head to one side.
Treatment for cervical discogenic radiculopathy may include conservative measures such as rest, physical therapy, and pain medication. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the damaged disc and relieve pressure on the nerve root.
It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms of cervical discogenic radiculopathy, as untreated cases can lead to further nerve damage and long-term disability. A doctor can perform a physical examination and imaging tests to diagnose the condition and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
