So easy to understand what’s happening with our bodies why can’t all doctors be like this thanks 🙏
Because some dr.s think there God and feel like they don't have to give a full explanation, especially the older ones. They just talk to you for 10min and get your co-pay. This dr is different very through thow.
Yes. He’s really good at explaining. Some days are ridiculously difficult. The reality of this situation is tough to accept. Dang it. 😡 😢😊 😡 etc
Yeah cause a doctor really has an hour to sit with you and explain it in depth.@@benladin626
Truly one of the best presentations and explanations of anatomy and diagnostics. You can tell he is a master of the subject since he can easily explain it.
Thorough, well organized, easily to understand and follow, description of cervical Radiculopathy. Well worth watching and learning.
Finally someone who explained what is wrong with my neck, why I keep dropping things, and the pain is horrible.
i wish i had doctors like him in my area.
Dr. Su, thank you so much for your easy to comprehend and broadly informative videos. You have *many* valuable videos and I practically binge watch your content.
I'm totally surprised your awesome TH-cam channel doesn't have well over a million subscribers, you're *that* good.
You will! 👌🏽 Keep up the helpful, easy to watch content 🙏🏽😎
"It only means narrowing" "And radiculopathy just means an impinged nerve". Other than that, it is awesome. Kidding. Very good explanation and I bet people and patients will be more informed. Thanks for your hard work
Thank you for this thorough explanation. I’ve known that I’ve had a pinched nerve in my neck and now I’m certain after you’ve explained the symptoms. Unfortunately the ortho surgeon I’ve seen is of no help. They want me to get an mri on my shoulder and my sister who is an mri tech looked at the order says it’s wrong and should be on my neck, not shoulder but the dr won’t listen or see me any further. I’m in so much pain and I also damaged my lower back by simply bending down to pick up something. I’m only 40 and have been working out and eating healthy consistently since I was 21 😢. It’s so frustrating.
One if not the best explanation about cervical radiculopathy on TH-cam. Diagrams, explanation of the medical terminology, patient. Well done Dr. Su. Liked and subscribed.
I have this problem since several years. I visited many many physicians including Physio, Chiro, physiatrist, so on and on. No one has explained my problem with accuracy. After watching this video. I understand now my whole problem. Thanks a lot.
Wowwwwwww. I have had neck and shoulder pain for years and no one has explained it as well as you. Thank you!!!
This brought so many answers to me. I've had a numb index finger, weak left triceps and pain between left scapula and spine for 5 weeks now. This is giving so much needed hope, thanks Doc!
Excellent. Thank you for the teaching as you assessed.
This is fantastically explained
Dude your amazing, thanks so much
Great video.. again super informative. Thank you!
Extremely well described, amazing teaching skills!!
AWESOME!!! great explanation
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Thank you so much!
Really helpful video for a med student too, thank you!
I absolutely love your videos! ❤ Thank you for all your information it’s beyond helpful.
This is The Best video on TH-cam that helped me with my neck pain. Thanks!
Excellent video!!!!
Thank you!
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thanks for this. Broke down exactly what I've been dealing with.......C6 nerve.
You're the boss at the simple teaching of such complicated subject matter.
Thank you. Truly appreciate it.🙏🔥
Dr Su, Making life so easy
Very very good teacher!! Thank you for the information..
You are awesome Dr.
i hope ul post more in the future.. thanks Dr!
Thank you for this informative video. This has been the most thorough explanation I have seen that I could actually understand! Soooo helpful! Many thanks!
I just went to medical school. Excellent presentation 👏 Learned more from this doctor. Then, I've learned from any doctor at Kaiser. Oops, did I say that! Well, it's factual. If doctors took the time. Like 15 minutes tops. To explain why we're having pain and where it's coming from, and the remedy. Then, most of us could leave the doctors office. Knowing exactly what's taking place within our bodies.💯
Thank you for making this video! With your expertise I have diagnosed myself as NOT having cervical radiculopathy.
Worth watching this video, very well explained. Thank you for sharing.🙏
Best series on neck!
Thank you Dr. Brain Su. You make it very easy to understand.😊

Best explanation
Writing from the Bahamas, thank you for your detailed information. Very informative looking forward to follow closely. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video…having a three level fusion soon……very informative!
Awesome video
My Rediculopathy is Redicoulus but this video clarifies everything that I have had going on for way too long. Stenosis sucks to live with!
Thanks Dr. Brian Su for your explanation of the causes of referred pain originating from cervical spine problems. This helps me understand the source of my referred pain, numbness and muscle weakness. I’m currently getting physical therapy to resolve these issues. My pain is much less now after 6 therapy sessions. Hopefully these issues will be totally resolved with therapy.
thank you for taking the time to MAP OUT the nerves and what segment of the neck they are attached to. This has greatly helped to isolate and understand my pain.
Very informative and concise👍
Thank you for speaking patient!!!! Very clear. It seems since Covid, we have to diagnose ourselves.
This is great. Pinpointed exactly what I have. My CR is super painful…and almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep because of it. Hope I don’t need surgery.
Thank you Dr Su, your explanation is well understood practical and very informative , excellent!
Watched and subscribed, we need good videos like these..
God bless this guy....I have a herniated disc (which I have figured out now from this awesome Doc)...in the C6..from heavy deadlift
nice exam, i didnt know about the referred pain behind the shoulder for c7
so amazing.
Thank you so much. A brilliant video, it explained everything perfectly. I currently have C4, C5 and C7 (bilateral for C5 and C7) pinched nerves. You are my new hero.
Thank you. Amazing
Thank you so much for the explanation, I damaged my nerves, almost the whole left side of my body. It's been 2 years and still don't feel temperature on my left side, but I do feel numbness/needle points instead of the temperature. It's weird but I went to physical therapy for about 6 months and still feel that same numbness/needle points. So, I've given up on trying to regain full function, but at least it feels good to understand what happened to me. You're an awesome doctor, thank you for that.
Thank You.
I have radiculopathy from C3 to C7 with stenosis and man, the symptoms are a lot to deal with. It's gotten to where both of my biceps are weak feeling. I always deal with shoulder pain, I'm dropping things as I don't have much strength in my hands. The cervicogenic headaches sucks and so on.... thank you for your videos
May I ask how old you are? Also, I’m very sorry to hear of your unfortunate issues. I recently began having symptoms of pain in trapezius and radiating tingling / pain in arm into hand. I’m very active with golf and working out (mail carrier on top of it) and I’m deathly afraid of this being a permanent thing. I couldn’t live that way. Or I should say won’t.
@BrianPex1 I'm a mail carrier too. 36 years old. About 3 weeks ago I started having numbness in my right finger and thumb along with pain through my tricep and shoulder blade. My nalc value plan is requiring 6 weeks of physical therapy before they will allow an mri. No help with any of the pills they've given me. I'm feeling stressed.
I’m going through the exact same thing for 3 weeks now. Hope you found some help.
Hi guys..any update on your cervical radiculopathy?
@gemevelquitalig8483 I ended up doing physical therapy for about 6 weeks and slowly it began to heal. It's been a few months since it began and I still have slight tingling in my hand and can't lay on one side for too long but I nerves heal very slowly.
Thank u for the education,I have it ,I had MRI but not x-ray yet
Really I saw one and only Dr.Su who explain everything very clearly and easily.I never see any other Doctors on TH-cam platform who can demonstrate each and every symptom during Cervical Radiculopathy.Thank you so much Dr.Su
If one has both stenosis of the reticulophy and spinal cord stenosis, and had block treatment, however it's due to bone stenosis not disk stenosis: can one 2 physio to help the muscles I avoid to use due to pain?
Hello! I’m from Sweden and have had two sugerys. The first in 2017 and the second thre weaks ago. C4- C7 this time. Can’t explain more in english. The discs is now gone and there is a metal plate..
This video gave me so much. Thank you! 🙏🏼 I wish my doctors told me like you did with your patient..,
Excellent. Quite excellent
But Doctor what will all that Advil do to my gut microbiome?
Exactly my condition. When you showed the arm on the head, thats me 100%.. See my Spine Dr tomorrow. This is an ongoing thing for me. This will be my 5th visit for the same condition...
Thank you so much. That's exactly what happens to me now
thank you!
Thank you.
What a stellar presentation! Dr. Su, you have made this easy to understand for the average, non- medical person. Unfortunately, since my only insurance is Medicaid, and I am unable to travel because of economic circumstances, you cannot be my Dr. I have multiple disc herniations - mostly cervical, but also lumbar... I also have spondylitis, stenosis, osteophytes, and ddd. I have more upcoming appointments with a neurosurgeon at the local spine center.... Hopefully there will be a good outcome. I am 59 years old and have tried to keep active, but it is getting harder.
wow, awesome video. It just explained the terrific pain I have of the pain in my right shoulder blade. Yes I do have arthritis of the spine. Thank you.
I’m feeling the same way! Prayers 🙏
I have moderate to severe pain in my shoulders arms and especially my hands. When I had an epidural injection between c6-7 I felt the burning tingle of the lidocaine all of the way from the top of my shoulders to my fingertips. The temporary relief I felt was complete, unfortunately it helped less each day especially after day 3 until after about a week my severe hand pain came back. While waiting for my surgery to be scheduled the pain has increased now to include neck pain. I was leaning toward disc replacement but I have decided on 2 level fusion. C5-7
I would like to say thank you for explaining this issue, discomfort or Pinch Nerve procedure.
As for myself I referred to three different specialists and all three have determined that I have had a pinched nerve for a long time. The Nerve Specialist was the one that finally made the diagnosis and all the systems that you have explained I have. With me it is the C3 and C8, prior to my diagnosis I since have had 2 previous surgeries due to arthritis and carpotunel on my hand and wrist. Second was a displacement of the nerve in the elbow, both surgeries went very good no issues.
Third surgery is going to be on my neck which is where my discomfort is and because of this I am starting to experience the same symptoms all over again.
Thanks dr I’m have c4/5 /6 acfd shortly all the symptoms you describe I’m experiencing very informative
Can a nerv from cervical spine cause intermitant general body weakness?
Thank you for all the easy details. Even as a registered nurse I was lost. My specialty is ❤. I have c 5-7 disc herniation. Dr. Is recommending titanium disc replacement. But I am avoiding first because I’m 63 and I have kyphosis. Poor posture most of my life. Also my EMG shows high possibility of Parsonage-turner syndrome. So I’m confused. Leaning toward decompression. It was the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life. I can tolerate a lot of pain but this was unbearable.
