Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic nerve pain in neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like injury, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia spondylosis or meningitis. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon again for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may order CT scan, MRI or physical examination.

Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for nerve problem. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
