The examination of the cervical spine showed limited extension, which is painful, as well as limited lateral rotation, which is also painful. Flexion is very limited due to pain.

It isn't very clear and really sounds more like axilony (does not s/l he's saying axial nerve). Axillary is the only thing that makes sense to me. Does anyone know if there's another possibility? Thanks :)
