I HIT MY HEAD ON THE BOTTOM OF GARAGE DOOR AND AN MRI SHOWS DISCS PROTRUDING ABOVE AND BELOW A PREVIOUS FUSION OF 5 & 6 IN EARLY 1990 S.. I AM PRESENTLY GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR TREATMENTS BUT IT HAS BEEN 4 TREATMENTS AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. MY SYPMTOMS ARE: PAIN IN NECK AND SHOULDERS....PINS AND TINGLING IN BOTH ARMS THAT HURT AND I USE HEAT AND THE TENS UNIT FOR RELIEF....BUT STILL WAKES ME UP AT NIGHT. WHAT AM I LOOKING TOWARD IN THE FUTURE IF THIS DOES NOT HEAL? THANK YOU ,. PAT
