Diagnosis needed: An MRI of your cervical spine would be diagnostic if your symptoms are caused by a bulging intervertebral disc or osteoarthritic spur causing a radiculopathy. If present, turning your head to the left may provoke symptoms. If these were present, home traction therapy could be arranged and should help. Wearing a soft neck collar may reduce neck discomfort.
