forgive my ignorance but 'cervical radiculopathies'???

Since I posted that earlier I have got myslelf an appointment with a neurologist. but its not for well over a week so any help is still needed, anything that I can or shouldnt do to help the sensation come back and a bit of strength.

well wasting occured in the mid deltoid aswell as just above my shoulder blade, i think there is other wasting but this is the most obvious and the main ones that were pointed out to me.

In terms of what muscles are weak basically if i held a dumbell currently everything in that arm seems to be equaly weak, and for the first time recently iv had grip problems aswell which I have never had from this 'condition'. Altered sensation seems to run down from my little finger to about half way down my forearm, this was the first part that went numb also followed by what seemed to be a gradual creeping across my hand of the numbness but the rest of the arm feels almost normal.
