You are completely missing the point. Yes, you can have neck pain without numbness and tingling in your arms. All I am saying is that radicular symptoms of numbness and tingling should correlate with MRI findings. That's all.

Furthermore, your subsequent comments have it backwards. Spinal stenosis does not cause a compressed vertebrae, but vertebral compression may cause spinal stenosis as part of the sequelae. I read my own MRIs from scratch. I do not rely on radiologist interpretation. Radiologists often miss things or under read.

At this point you are really doing the OP a disservice as I am sure the moderators would agree. You seem intent on looking for an argument and your uneducated bickering, as evidenced by your comments above, is distracting, unwelcomed, and not the intention of this cycling forum. If you have any other personal comments start another thread about your own neck or send a private message. Thank you.
