The neuropathic symptoms (pain and numbness) are not always correlated with findings on spine imaging test.

This requires clinical correlation to exclude additional pathology with the brachial plexus, or compression of other nerves distal over the limb. An EMG/NCS may help sort all of this out. Suggest visit to neurologist or physiatrist.
