Hello Doctor. I Had An MRI. That Showed Herniation At

Hello Doctor. I had an MRI. That showed herniation at cervical disc 5 and 6 and slight slip at 4 . At first I had moderate shoulder arm neck pain .. Now I seem to get more pressure in the front of my neck along side my throat that shoots up to my ear and then my head .. Kinda like a steady constant pressure .. It's generally fine when I wake in morning and progresses through out day .. My question is can my herniated discs be causing frontal neck and ear pain ? I have had my thyroid checked and Esaufagus .. All normal .. Thank you
