Question 1

is it more common for certain types of people to get brachial radiculitis?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Brachial radiculitis can come from cervical disc herniations or narrowing around nerve canal. Lifting weights or contact sports causing neck strain may increase your risk of nerve pressure from disc bulge or neck bone spurs. Many people will get cervical arthritis or degenerative changes naturally as they age and in some cases this can allow disc herniations or bone spurs that aggravate nerves.

Question 2

what is brachial neuritis or radiculitis?

Accepted Answer

Brachial Neuritis: Brachial neuritis is when there is inflamation or irritation to a nerve or nerve root.  The inciting agent can be a disc herniation infection or something similar.

Accepted Answer

Hi,
sorry : Hi, 
sorry to hear about your problems. First of all, try not to worry. Yes, paralysis is possible with cervical spondylolysis, but it is rare and usually does not occur overnight. Having said that, it is difficult to advise based on the histroy alone. Physical examination and MRI report would be needed to get a better picture of your problem.
The pain does not always correlate with the findings. In other words, many people have severe pain and little pathology or a lot of pathology and mild pain. It sounds like your pain is not acute but rather chronic. Medications do tend to stop working over time and sometimes they need to be changed or replaced by others to control pain. 
Increased pain alone does not indicate that something terrible is going on. Watch for weakness in the arms or legs, changes in your bowel/bladder function, and , if you need to, get a second opinion.
Good luck.
