Recent xray shows early degenerative disk disease c4-c5, c5-c6 and not the t5-t6? at 23 should i be concerned and should i be seeking neuro consult?

Neck pain: Not concerned. Early arthritis but you can slow it down. Avoid smoking, add stretching and strengthening neck exercises to your exercise regimen. Gravitate toward a job that is not manual labor or one that does not require frequent bending, stooping and lifting.

NECK PAIN: What are your symptoms? If you are not having weakness or changes in reflexes you do not need a neurosurgical consult. Neck exercises would likely help.
