Usually, the most common cause of nerve damage in the neck is a cervical disc herniation with compression of a nerve root or cord. Symptoms may range from mild neck and upper limb pain to severe pain associated with weakness, tingling/numbness of the upper limb. If the cord is severely compromised this is a much more serious condition which can lead to paralysis of all limbs with loss of bowel and bladder control. In the presence of symptoms an MRI of the cervical spine would be diagnostic for cervical disc herniation.
