All of that needs to be correlated with your complaints and exam findings. That said, one might expect to see weakness of muscles including deltoids, biceps, with grasping and motions of the wrist. Possibly pain and sensory changes about the thumb side of the hand as well as the thumb and index fingers. Thecal indentation probably isn't doing much, but could be, and depending on your central canal diameter, long tract signs into your legs and feet are doubtfully on the radar but could be. These are just possibilities....doesn't mean you must have them...
