C2-3 central disc protrusion -> can this cause me neck pain? i've had it for more than 4months. how do i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc Protrusion: Cervical disc prolapse at c2-3 level can cause neck pain radiating to head or both arms with numbness. To start with we recommend pt , neck exercises , nonsteroidal anti inflammatory analgesics, cervical collar. Next step is epidural injections which can be repeated depending on the response. Cervical discectomy is considered after failed conservative treatment.
