What Is The Remedy For The Severe Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain And Numbness In Arms After A Fall On Ice?

Hi, I fell on black ice and landed on right hip. Told dr at first visit of pain in righ hip, lower back, neck on left side with a headache. In the middle of my back was pressure and 2 inches below pressure it stayed numb. MRI said L3-4 paracentral disc extrusion L3-4 left nerve contact and L4-5 lateral right disc prottrusion L4 right nerve contat. I have since have sever neck pain, left shoulder blade pain and total arm numbness with left leg numbness as well. I need mri for neck but I have pain in chest, stabbing pain in middle of back going around ribs and heavy feeling on chest that wont go away and when I laid down on my side I will stop breathing and have to fight to get up so i can breath. Could a thoracic or cervical disc herniation cause the problem with breathing? I keep being told neck and upper back pain is because of muscle spasm but it feels the same as the lumbar herniation.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Diaphragmatic hernia may cause pain on breathing. You should follow up the neck pain symptoms. Start first with topical and oral non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs 3 times daily for 2 weeks and vitamin B 12 injection once every 3 days.
