I have been having a lot of pain that continues to worsen over a 2 year period. The doctors was running test only on my lumbar area because a couple of years ago I had decompression surgery in L4-L5. However I found a doctor who listened to me & ran the test I requested. However he only said come back & see me in a couple of months without any therapy & advised me to go online & look up cervical exercises & make sure I keep my neck lose. In addition he said massages would be good. Please see MRI results below
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. After going through your MRI cervical spine report, it seems to suggest a moderate to severe degree disc prolapse at multiple levels witChatDoctorpression of the nerves at these levels. This could result in neck pain as well as arm pain. In addition to physiotherapy neck exercises, I would advise you to use cervical collar (soft) and use medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin to reduce the nerve pain. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
