Hi 123rich.It sound to me that your assessment of the pt in question has not been adequate.So your diagnosis may be questionable.Little is known whether the pain in the neck which later radiated to the forearm is due to trauma or the case is insidious. Either way, a plain x-ray is vital to rule in or out some problems.Traumatic neck pain without # rarely produce pain with character discribed by u.Mechanical neck pain would likely be insidious,with xray revaeling, reduced intradiskal space and narrowing of intervertebral foramen.provocative test +,mvt in ipsi pain +, rotation could trigger a radiating pain to d forearm +fingers.I cannot really cordinate your mention of facet jt to a cervical problem.Hope i have not caused more confusion.
