A member asked:
Does herniated nucleus pulposus mean the same as cervical radiculopathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A herniated disc can be a cause of a cervical radiculopathy which is pain over a nerve arising from the neck due to a compression of that nerve but a disc can herniate without causing nerve compression or even any symptoms even with compression of nerve.
