You are 100% wrong.
I have C3-7 impinged at the foramen and some central canal impingement. I just had another MRI today, probably going to get 4 level ADR.
I have never had numbness and tingling in my neck, back, or shoulders......just pain and discomfort. As a matter of fact, the initial symptoms a decade ago were very similar to what OP reports. Later, radiculopathy down to the hands and fingers had both numbness and tingling and ultimately weakness.
