Cervical stenosis: Mickeylandia~ cervical stenosis is caused by osteo-arthritis of the tiny lateral facet joints of the cervical spine. The nerves that make up the brachial plexus (arm) exit the neck there as well and the new bone formation caused by the OA can compress the nerves from the neck giving pain and numbness. Its treateable with PT and surgery if bad! See your GP if bad pain for eval thanks
