Cervical myelopathy: The symptoms should be checked out by your doctor. This may be an early warning for degeneration or a disk herniation in your neck causing spinal cord compression.

Maybe or Maybe not: It could be caused by cervical stenosis, with pressure on your spinal cord. However, there are other things that could cause this, so go see a spinal surgeon for evaluation to rule out any spinal cause of your symptoms.
