Why would doctors want me to go to ed if i got increased numbness and or pins as needles after minor c6 disk tear and nerve root irritation?

Permanent damage: The goal is to prevent permanent damage to the spinal cord or nerve root. If symptoms warranted it, the ed would consult a neurosorgeon. Muscle weakness would be an ominous symptom or sign.
