Hello Jennifer and thank you for your thoughtful response. I was on magnesium supplement (at a very high dose) for about 12 years after being recommended by one of my rheumatologists. My new rheumatologist said that the calcium and magnesium dosages were not intended for perpetual use and recommended discontinuing. In any case, the radiculopathy, essentially another name for "pinched nerve" condition, was not impacted in either direction. I am basically just curious if others on Mayo Clinic Connect in the subgroup Bones & Muscles, etc. have been diagnosed with (cervical) radiculopathy....looking for a sub-community that may share some of the issues of living with it.
Again, thank you very much. It was nice to see a response, especially as a new MCC member.
