Hello,

The scapular depression with acute cervical radiculopathy do present with variety of neurological symptoms such as:
- Tingling, numbness upper arm up to hands
- Difficulty in raising shoulder above 90 degree level
- Winging of scapula seen from back side
- Nape pain radiating to upper limb and hand

However, neither of the case is associated with rash or bumps outside the forearm, which may be indicative of underlying viral infection as root cause of radiculopathy most likely.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
