![]() ![]() The mechanism of referred pain is reviewed and a plausible and testable neurologic explanation for these observed findings is presented. Results: Patients with ipsilateral medial scapula pain had 0.0% incidence of stenosis at C4, 29.5% at C5, 64.6% at C6, 49.2% at C7, 0.0% at C8, and 80% with either C6 or C7 stenosis.Ĭonclusion: This is the first report of referred pain to the medial scapula from cervical stenosis at the C6 or C7 levels. ![]() Data was collected to evaluate for a correlation of the level of cervical stenosis with the location of pain at the medial border of the scapula. Methods: The charts of 278 patients seen in an interventional spine clinic over an 11 year period from 2008 to 2018 who were diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy based on location of pain were reviewed. An interventional spine clinic noted a series of patients with medial scapula pain without C5 stenosis, however many of these patients had either C6 or C7 stenosis. Scapula pain of neurologic origin at present is felt to be mediated mainly by C5 through the dorsal scapular nerve. Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine if there exists referred medial scapula pain from C6 or C7 cervical spinal stenosis. ![]()
