Suggest Remedy For Persistent Back Pain With Protruding Bone On Spine
I have constant back pain. Recently I had tightness and soreness in my neck with numbness beginning in my arm. I went to my Chiropractor 6 days ago. Initially, I thought it was better. The next day and till now the pain is worse and now the bone at the top of my spine is protruding/swollen. Who should I see next? I do not see going back to the Chiropractor

Hi.
You should always visit an orthopedician first before seeing a chiropractor. Only a medical doctor knows when you can and cannot leave your body to be subjected to what a chiropractor does. I would recommend a visit to an orthopedician next, and always first.
Best wishes.
