Just took a look at the MRI reports, it’s not so bad. It is an easy fix. The protrusions are mild and will resolve on their own. This will be fixed with physical therapy or strengthening exercises. The symptoms in the arm (numbness, tingling and pain in the arm) will resolve. The sooner treated the better. The buldges are not pinching the nerve; however they are irritating to them and cause the symptoms in the arm. A Medrol dose pack will still be beneficial, and an epidural in your neck will also be beneficial to control the symptoms but exercises to strengthen the neck will be the key to preventing this from happening again. Dr. D said that the shoulder pain is coming from your clavical area and is a result of trauma. (Probably the bullet proof vest) No treatment to fix this area, only time. He said when you come in he will inject some medicine in this area to help with pain.
