jc,
Have you ever had your lumbar area checked? People with cervical disc problems are more prone to develop lumbar problems and the reverse is true as well.
Please check out http://www.backpain-guide.com/Chapte...culopathy.html It is an explaination of dermatomes and why the docs may have questions about symptoms.
There can be quite a bit of overlap in dermatomes. It is not a clearly diferentiated line but generally is correct.
