Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis [Chapter 4 FULL]

[@bmp713]

Can cervical myelopathy cord compression cause significant numbness anywhere below the level of compression?
Can the numbness on my feet and lower legs be from cervical cord compression?
I have severe cord and foraminal compression at C5-C6 and C6-C7. I have numbness on my hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back clearly aggravated by my neck but I keep wondering if cord compression can also cause numbness anywhere below that compression, especially my feet.

So my doctor said I have cervical radiculopathy but am having symptoms on both side and also on my feets

Hi Serki, sounds like you're questioning how cervical radiculopathy could cause symptoms into your feet. You are right -- cervical radiculopathy does not; you may have myelopathy or a separate process altogether to explain your foot symptoms. Hopefully you can have a meaningful discussion with your doctor so they can explain where they think your foot symptoms are coming from. Good luck! -SP
