A member asked:
Can this cause headaches every single day and would i need surgery? impression: minute right paracentral disc protrusion at c5-c6 abutting the right c6 nerve root mild arthropathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is conceivable that neck pain with secondary headaches could occur, BUT, this could be handled conservatively if there is no spinal cord compression, progressive weakness and/ or muscle atrophy, urinary dysfunction, or progressive unrelenting pain. Physical therapy with motorized cervical traction could well stabilize your clinical symptoms and allow for disc desiccation and shrinkage.
