--some intermittent symptoms, including small fasiculations/twitches. The fasciculations, though, tend to be in my arms, which leads me to believe they may not be related to the original neuropathic process but rather the far more mundane cervical spine disease I have. I have considerable foraminal narrowing and nerve root compression at several levels of my cervical spine, and do get symptoms in my shoulders, arms, and hands from that, although good physical therapy has lessened the symptoms and kept me out of the surgical suite so far.

This, of course, points up the fact that it's often very hard to distinguish neural symptoms caused by spinal processes from those caused by more peripheral ones, as they can be experienced similarly. It's also why a search for the causes of neural symptoms is often very long and very process of elimination, if you can even get physicians to maintain that degree of interest (and your insurance approving further testing).
