Cervical spine : The herniated dick is in the cercical spine . Your surgeon has to determine the evidence that the pain comes from the hernietaion , correlation between symptoms and findings and the electromyogram .If there are criteria for surgery and the pain is related to the disk that is suspected . Surgery should help.
