c5 and c6 are vertebrae in the neck Arthritis can cause a growth of bone that ends up putting pressure on the nerves passing out of the spinal chord into the body, in this case I think your arms.

What is causing faulting?

Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements


What is a burnt valve?

Pretty much what it says, fatigue and heat actually burn a hole usually on the edge of a valve causing that cylinder to lose compression.


2000 Mitsubishi galant ran hot and now won't start I was driving down the interstate and the car wouldn't pick up speed.. It slowed down and the engine shut off. What's wrong?

I would suspect you have blown a head gasket. Check for coolant in the oil. A compression test will verify if you indeed have a blown gasket. ==ANOTHER ANSWER== When an engine overheats you run the risk of causing serious damage. You'll need to run a compression test to find out if the head gasket has been blown. Overheating can result in a warped head which causes the gasket to fail. If you have low compression in any of the cylinders but especially any two adjacent cylinders, you will need to pull the head.


What causes a 1998 Malibu 's engine to rev at 2500 rpms when first started by the way it won't kick down unless you shut it off a start again then the rpms go back to 1000- car seems to start slowly?

Check the engine for proper cylinder compression. If the pressure is low then a blown head gasket could be leaking and causing the problem.


Can Rheumatoid Arthritis cause back spasms?

It can when there is a point where nerves pas between joints where cartilage that normally holds the bone apart becomes thin or disappears, causing pressure to be put on the nerve which in turn can effect muscles elsewhere in the body.

What is tension and compression?

Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.


Why would an engine have poor compression?

The Cylinder head could be damaged or a ring out of place, causing the release of air, making less compression


What is a paracentral protrusion of disc effaces the epidural fat minimally effaces the thecal sac on L5 S1?

This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.


What is pathopysiologyof hernia?

hernia develops at place with weakening or absence of muscular covering. it develops when there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, causing protrusion of the organs, which can be observed by protrusion of skin. the common sites are: the umbilicus and the inguinal it can also happen internally, in which case, it is called the internal hernia.

Could be gas in the oil causing low or no compression.


Headgasket blown in vertical section between 12 causing no compression?

? is vague. Even with a blown headgasket you will have some compression and it is usually the same in both cylinders


How do you know the Head intake and exhaust are bad?

The vehicle will have low compression causing it to misfire and not run


Can low compression cause an check engine light to come on?

If it is causing the cylinder to misfire, yes.


What is a left eccentric disc bulge at c6 c7?

With degenerative disc disease, disc bulging occurs with flattening out of the disc and subsequent spreading out. Typical bulging presents symmetrical, but sometimes a protrusion will develop that is eccentric, ie., asymmetrical bulging. An eccentric protrusion will be to one side, in this case left, sometimes causing neurologic symptoms on that side, sometimes not. A protrusion is less than 3 mm, whereas a herniation exceeds 3 mm.
