Cervical Neuritis can cause varying degrees of pain in the neck area. Sometimes the pain, tingling, or numbness that result from Cervical Neuritis can spread down the arms.

cervical spineThe C3, C4, and C5 vertebrae form the midsection of the cervical spine, near the base of the neck. A cervical vertebrae injury is the most severe of all spinal cord injuries because the higher up in the spine an injury occurs, the more damage that is caused to the central nervous system.
The uncovertebral joints, also called Luschka's joints, are found between vertebral segments from C3 down to C7. These joints are comprised of two uncinate processes—one rising from the top of each side of the vertebral body—that fit in indentations in the vertebral body above.
Code M54. 2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain).

If yes, neuropathy and diabetes needs to be combined and coded regardless of it is polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, mononeuropathy or unspecified neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy with diabetes should be coded as E11.42 (DM with polyneuropath), not e11.40 (DM with neuropathy).
There is hereditary neuropathy also which get transferred from parent to child. Neuropathy can occur in any nerve of the body, but peripheral neuropathy is the common type seen in most of the people. As the name says peripheral neuropathy affects peripheral nerves usually extremities (hands and feet).
