Hello,

Yes, degenerative changes in the cervical spine can be manifested with pain in the neck radiating in the arm, forearm and hand. It can be differentiated from articular issues from this aforementioned distribution, sensation changes corresponding to affected nerves as well as altered reflexes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
