Degenerative cervical disc disease is a very common problem with most problems being resolved with conservative measures. Patients can present with a wide variation of complaints from neck pain to myelopathy secondary to spinal cord compression. In those patients requiring surgery for arm pain and myelopathy, the results are quite favorable.
