Timeline for severe cervical radiculopathy can vary significantly though. Some people can heal up real fast in a few weeks with no residual issues. some people need surgery or they end up never being able to use their left side.
Had a few pretty bad herniated discs and nerve damage. Went from doing 50 push-ups to 5 because my left side was so weak. After 3 or 4 months I could do 20. Got to my maximum after about a year and can do 40 on a good day. Left side is still weaker than my right and will never recover. Hope he doesn't have permanent damage.
Similar in that my right arm is weaker than my left after a minor spinal fracture and surgery. No damage to my arm just numbness and weaker. My bench press is fairly pitiful considering right arm is mostly there to balance out the bar for my left.
