Question 1

i have burnin pain on forearm, started with diffuse tingling couple months ago, do i have cervical radiculopathy? burning not specific to dermatome

Accepted Answer

Couple thots: Doubt this is due to problem in neck, and rather might wonder about problem with radial nerve if over top or forearm (dorsal interosseus syndrome), but if over inner surface could be median such as pronator syndrome, and even less likely anterior interosseus syndrome.  An EMG could help sort this out.

Normal variant: Depending on the number of children born via vaginal delivery a woman has, sometimes her cervix can be
