Cervical radiculopathy is generally due to pressure on some nerve root due to a disc bulge. Treatment may be conservative or surgical depending on the MRI findings. The outcome of radiculopathy is usually very good after treatment. Further details will make the decision clear. Whatever is the treatment, there is nothing to worry for this as the outcome is generally excellent. Avoid lifting heavy things and avoid jerky and extreme neck movements
Next Steps
Visit a neurosurgeon with your MRI and further decision of treatment will be made
Health Tips
Avoid lifting weights. Avoid sudden extreme neck movements. A collar for fee days would be helpfull.
