A doctor has provided 1 answer

Radiculopathy: Radiculopathy may be diagnosed by a plain xray of the neck which could show a vertebral spur pressing on a nerve root or narrowing of the opening where a nerve root exits. An MRI is a definitive test which will show disc pathology as well. Start with an examination by an orthopedic surgeon.
