I had an mri done of my cervical spine. if there is compression of the nerves that exit out between the c5-c6 cervical spine can that effect the tricep muscles or cause denervation of the tricep muscles?

: Innervation of triceps muscle is mainly C7, with minimal input of C6 and C8 in some folks. Your described problem is at the wrong level. Perhaps an EMG could clarify.
