Is Numbness In Hands And Head Due To Herniated Disc?

Hi there -- I have a C6-7 herniated disc since March. I am taking predizone and am currently tappering off as well as doing retraction therapy with a PT. I was about a 9/10 on the pain scale, but today am at a 5 or so, so the predizone is working I think (we will see how I feel once im off the the steroids completely). I have numb index finger, 2nd finger and thumb -- as well as forearm and shoulderblade & decreased strength in my arm all together (this is my left arm)... an epidural will be considered next. Anyways -- I am on the right track I think, however today I realized that the right side of my head is numb to the touch... what could this be?? thanks so much in advance!
