What does this mean? no emg evidence of cervical radiculopathy but the study showed c6/7 root irritation without evidence of sustained denervation probably related to degenerative cervical spine disease with neural foraminal narrowing or stenosis?

: Have NO clue why the EMG report hedges conclusions as noted. But would assume no direct nerve root damage is apparent, and your symptoms are secondary to initial nerve root compression at the foraminal outlet.
