Cervical epidural: An epidural injection for a pinched nerve in your neck can provide significant relief. Make sure you see a board certified pain management specialist for this procedure.

Seek Other Help: A year's worth of radiating cervical disc pain, unrelieved & unattended, is cause for concern & needs prompt evaluation. Another neurosurgeon (or neurologist) in your area will likely be available to assist. Be proactive! good iuck!
