From Text Neck to Relief: Cervical Radiculopathy Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe cervical radiculopathy — a nerve root compressed in the neck. Writers describe the slow onset and the misattributions: the desk, the phone, the pillow, the gym, the shoulder that everyone treated instead. There is the search for a diagnosis, the MRI, and the relief of learning the arm pain has an anatomical cause. Then the long nights: the positions that helped, the sleep lost, the work made impossible, the weakness that frightened people most. Writers describe the turn — physical therapy that finally targeted the right thing, traction, nerve gliding, gabapentinoids, and the patience required by a condition that often resolves on its own over months. Later chapters cover epidural injections, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, artificial disc replacement, surgeons' perspectives, and the cases where pain, numbness or weakness never fully let go.

Who it's for

For anyone with unexplained arm pain or weakness, patients deciding between conservative treatment and neck surgery, and readers in the long uncertain middle.
