my husband was in a 2 point impact car accident a year ago...he had an mri done the month after due to severe head pressure,headaches,pain in his right arm and numbness in his middle,ring and pinky finger.he has done physical therapy,chiropractic,had the nerves burned on the ends of the vertebrae in his neck at the pain management specialist,and hes seen a neurologist that treated with meds but didn t fix the problem.hes scheduled to see a cervical surgeon,as his 2nd mri this past week showed the discs are still bulging but not pinching the nerves....hes a mechanic and was told he may never be a mechanic again.what are his options after a year has gone by and how long will this pain last? hes taking 50mg of tramadol 6 times a day now. as he needs to get back to work.
