Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Neurologist: Impingement of a nerve root by a bulging intervertebral disc or spur may be present. An MRI of the upper back and neck would be revealing, but consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon first for evaluation and treatment,options which may include physical therapy and/or corticosteroid injections.
