Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain When Diagnosed With Bulging Of C5-C6

You are likely having cervical myelopathy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Your symptoms are mostly due to compression of the cord in the neck. This is called cervical myelopathy. This causes pain and tingling numbness in hand and in lower limb. This also causes gait disturbance. I do not think that you are having hand problems because of Rheumatoid or carpel tunnel problems.
I have following suggestions for you.
1.You need to see a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon.
2.You may need surgery to take care of progression of these symptoms.
3.Wear soft cervical collar to prevent any movement at neck.
4.Tablet Baclofen may be helpful.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
