How To Treat Para Lateral Disc Protrusion Causing Mild Stenosis On C4-C5?

I had spinal fusion a yr ago on c5-c7. I was hit at work by a heavy glass door when one side gave way slamming my right shoulder, pushing me into a crowd of people. Afterwards the symptoms of nerve pinching, pain, headaches, pins ans needles , numbing, aching and pain down arm returned. Just had an MRI this week. Fusion is fine C4- c5 has a paralateral/far left disk protruision causing mild stenosis, mass effect on nerve root entry zone.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to neck You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
