I'm sort of new here because I've rarely posted, but quick question: can cervical disc failure cause major neck, shoulders, elbows, hands, legs and foot pain, but little numbness, or must numbness always be present to indicate the need for ADRs or fusion? Local (northern Va.) neurosurgeon recommended fusion, but local orthosurgeon says stenosis not severe enough for ADR or fusion, partly because only a little numbness and loss of strength. Recent nerve block briefly helped neck and shoulder pain, but radio frequency ablation did nothing. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
