A member asked:
Ongoing pain in neck and trapped nerve. after having a mri and xray it has been confirmed bulging disc between c5 c6. surgery next option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cervical spine surge: Surgery should be your last option. More than 90% of damaged discs heal by themselves over time. For ongoing nerve pain and neck pain , you should get a cervical epidural steroid injection done by a qualified and experienced pain physician under x-ray guidance. Also start physical therapy as soon as you can to relieve muscular spasm.
