What does cervical radiculopathy pain feel like?

People with cervical radiculopathy typically describe the pain as sharp or burning. Moving your neck in certain ways, like extending or straining it, may increase the pain.

Some people with cervical radiculopathy notice that their pain decreases when they place their hands on top of their head. This may temporarily relieve pressure on the affected nerve root.
