Have cervical dd & spinal stenosis. extreme neck pain & now i feel swelling on back of my neck (left side only). is the swelling common? treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not get: swelling from disc herniation and stenosis alone. It could be a deep infection, so it is best to see a doctor for evaluation.
