MRI Showing Disc Herniation. Neck Pain, Headaches And Numbness In The Arm. Took Injections In The Muscles. What Is The Further Treatment?
Hi, my recent MRI has shown that I have a disc herniation in C5-c6 for about 4 mm. I have been having having neck pain , headaches , back of the head pressures, numbness in my left arm and hand and now for the last few days, dizziness . My Orthopedic doctor gave me some trigger point injections in the muscle about 3 weeks ago, so my neck doesn t hurt as mush, but I still have the headaches, head pressures, and diziness. They said surgery is not a good idea for me. what do you suggest I should do ?
