In this condition, the spinal cord becomes compressed or squeezed by arthritic condition. Cervical Myelopathy can result in neck pain, numbness, and weakness, which can extend to arms and legs. It often occurs with advanced age but can also occur after a major injury. Some of the other causes include: trauma; viral processes; tumors; or degenerative processes such as spondylitis and intervertebral disc herniation.
