How Long Does It Take To Recover From Cervical Radiculopathy?

I have been having pain and diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy. I am having pain constantly on my right side neck, head, and shoulder area and sometimes radiating down my arm and legs. I have not been able to work. I am going to see a Neurologist. I am wondering how long will I be out of work.

Hi,

There's really no telling without an examination how long you will be sidelined from anything because it's entirely dependent the cause of the problem and what can be done to fix it such as therapy, surgery, medication, etc.

After the visit with your neurologist, you will be able to ask that same question and get a much more refined answer since they will know how this all came to be and what the recommendations will be to get you better....this might include a reduction in your work duties as opposed to having to be absent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
