Bulging Disc: If the bulging disc is pressing on the nerve causing radiating pain and weakness or pressing on the spinal cord causing weakness and imbalance then surgery to take the pressure off of the nerve is an option. If you have neck pain but the nerves or spinal cord are not under pressure then non-surgical treatments should be continued. Ask to be referred to a spine specialist.

C6-7 disc: It would seem it is time to be evaluated by a surgeon. That doesn't mean you will need surgery, but a surgeon is in an unique position to help you assess other treatment options.
