I suffered from this for 6 months but have recovered. I was ready for surgery but finally saw slow improvement a few weeks prior. I did exercises, decompression, and massage. I think they all helped with my recovery. I'm careful now and still continue stretching exercises.

I am 27 years old and I have exactly the same symptoms. It has been 6 weeks since initial pain in the neck, and 4 weeks since strength loss. Recently I am getting some tingling sensations in my arm and index fingertip and thumb. Healthcare system in my country is very slow and inefficient and It can take months until I get diagnosed properly and receive any kind of treatment. Are there any exercises that I can do to help my condition? Please help.

I broke my clavicle a year and a half ago and had surgery (plate) 3 weeks later. Immediately after the surgery I noticed a minor tingle in my arm when my head is turned to the right. A year and a half today had increasing pain and tingles, I did chiropractor for week. That made it worse, so then tried PT for 4 weeks. It was excruciating pain and had to go to ER and had Catscan and MRI. It shows that I have C5-6 acute radical apathy, but the pain is in my shoulder blade, tricep and thumb/index finger. I have an appointment with neurosurgeon and nerve doctor in a few weeks. I just want to get disc replacement so that I don’t encounter this in the near future as I have a active lifestyle. BTW: This prognosis is 100% me. What advice can you give? Thanks.

My doctor told me to straighten my sitting posture and keep my self warm. My question is do you think I should stop playing Ping Pong or Gym Workout? Does it make my condition worse in your opinion, knowing that when I warm up I dont feel any pain while exercising. Thank you.

Your videos are stellar! And the dermatone/reflex is very interesting, I never really thought about integrating that point of view before. And just to clarify, does a lack of reflex, or a weak reflex in the particular dermatone mean it’s always going to be a sign of nerve root compression? What are your thoughts? I’m also curious because for example, your patient is presenting with a more developed looking L bicep. Wound dominant hand/side of body play into your findings or treatment plan ? Thank You !!!

Look into RFA ablation from an experienced pain mgmt doctor. It basically “shrinks” the nerve by burning the outer layer. It provided relief to me for more than a year. The nerve layer will grow back & the symptoms/pain would return, but the RFA procedure can be done again.

Is it possible for the pain of a bulged cervical disc to last as long as 3 to 4 months? Is it necessary to get a second MRI months later to see whether or not the disc has healed? The reason I ask is I would like to use at denneroll for cervical neck correction as my neck is straight but I’m not sure that I can use it if I have a bulged disc and or stenosis in that area.

I have what I believe to be C7 nerve compression, muscle in forearm started bothering me and then pain in neck about 6 weeks ago, got progressively worse sleeping on a hotel bed, got home, started decompressing the neck via chiro and home therapy. Pain mostly resolved, able to sleep better, still have slight residual pain at times, tingling, numbness etc. All that seems to be slowly getting better, but I am left with significant weakness in my left tricep. I would estimate loss of strength at 90%, no pain when working that area - how do I know when its time to see a doctor or can I just continue with stretching, nerve glides PT etc? I just don't want to end up with some perm damage that is unrecoverable because I waited too long. PLEASE HELP!

Could benchpressing have caused a cervical polydiscopathy in my case? I went to the neuro after experiencing tingling in my left thumb and afterwards recognized also some tingling in my left bicep and posterior deltoid. Symptoms remained constant for a few weeks( at first I didn't suspect spinal issues ) so I continued as usual with my gym routine. Only after MRI confirmed cervical issues, did I start to wonder what the hell could I be doing wrong( I've been bench pressing for at least 10 years( Im 32 years old ) and last year I was doing weekly reps with +120 kg). I suspected benchpressing could press on the cervical area, I cut that exercise out and used the alternative lateral cable exercise for pectorals. Only after that did i start to notice my numbness slowly go down( I didn't ever experience any kind of pain). So many people bench press their entire lives and there isn't any contraindication about it being able to affect the cervical area so what the hell?

Good question Reenesh! This varies with everyone. The jelly part of the disc can be reabsorbed by the body in some cases but can take a long time. Problem is trying to determine who should wait and who should have surgery. Always try to treat conservatively but if pain is unrelenting and weakness gets worse that is a sign that there could be more nerve damage going on that may need to be addressed surgically. I've seen too many people not fixed fast enough or were misdiagnosed and ended up with permanent disability. Best of luck!

Hi Lionel, Yes it can be confusing. So many inconsistencies out there. Here is a C5 video. He had surgery and had C5 addressed and it took care of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKqugJWXbLWLors C6 is classic loss of wrist extension. C7 triceps. I am very confident with these because I've probably seen 50 or more of each who had surgery and the relief from surgery confirms the original diagnosis.

If you have a bulged disc in the C7 causing minor stenosis well that stenosis correct itself once the minor disc bulge has healed? My pain is pretty much gone after three months I’m just curious as to whether or not the stenosis has gotten better but I can’t do another MRI just yet.

It's not common to have headaches with a cervical nerve root compression. There are many causes of headaches. Have you tried PT yet?

Hiya, I'm 32 and had my first baby 10mths ago. Since January I've had a electric shock/zap feeling when I press on the bottom left of my neck at the back, like where my neck starts but at the back. I also keep getting random zaps/burning/tingles under random fingernails at a time but on both hands. Do you know if this sounds like nerve pain to you?

It does. You should be evaluated for it. Giving birth can be pretty stressful to your neck. My wife had severe neck issues during birth.

If the nerve is pinched too much, you may have permanent weakness. You should see a doctor for this.
