I HIT MY HEAD ON THE BOTTOM OF GARAGE DOOR AND AN MRI SHOWS DISCS PROTRUDING ABOVE AND BELOW A PREVIOUS FUSION OF 5 & 6 IN EARLY 1990 S.. I AM PRESENTLY GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR TREATMENTS BUT IT HAS BEEN 4 TREATMENTS AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. MY SYPMTOMS ARE: PAIN IN NECK AND SHOULDERS....PINS AND TINGLING IN BOTH ARMS THAT HURT AND I USE HEAT AND THE TENS UNIT FOR RELIEF....BUT STILL WAKES ME UP AT NIGHT. WHAT AM I LOOKING TOWARD IN THE FUTURE IF THIS DOES NOT HEAL? THANK YOU ,. PAT
hiSinceconservative treatment is not working, there may be need for discectomy to release nerve implications and abort tingling, numbness.try to use cervical collar for preventing strain on neck. Consult a spine surgeon soonest wishes
