Need to correlate clinical findings with MRI..... to decide appropriate management ..... mostly conservative method I.e physiotherapy with medication is very much helpful

Neurological recovery takes time..... no need to panic

Cervical pain and numbness in hand is usually due to cervical radiculopathy caused by nerve compression in the neck (cervical spine). When associated with tingling numbness in the hands a detailed evaluation and examination is required to know the level of compression of the affected nerve and its severity. Following which it is clinically correlated with MRI findings. Physiotherapy does help if its a minor compression however if severe then need appropriate intervention to prevent further deterioration. Kindly consult a Spine Surgeon for the same.

You can consult with me on practo / or take an appointment for further management.

Do not lift heavy weights over head and maintain good posture if having desk work.
