I Found Out Today After Years Migraines And Neck Pain

I found out today after years migraines and neck pain i have a broad based disc bulge in C5-6 with moderate indentation of the thecal sac. Also a encroachment of the existing left c6 nerve root. My doctor is just letting me suffer. Won't give me anything for this severe pain. my eyeball feels like a needle poking it and my base of my skull feels like cotton balls are stuffed underneath it. I'm tired of the pain and foggy brain. I have seen my New doctor ( i have seen 3 doctors in the last 5 years) 3 times regarding this and he just sends me home saying he doesn't know what is wrong and offers no support. I recently had an MRI and was told this was the result by seeing the results. My doctor told me my MRI was clear and all was well but clearly this discribes my pain. there must be something that can help me live my life. I shouldn't have to suffer. I have never been in a car accident or injured by neck so not sure how this happened. Iknew i had a bulging disc when was 27. i am now 43. I was born however with caudual regressing and am missing my tail bone. I didnt' find that out until i was 35 years old. Not sure if that would be relavant. any guidance suggestions that would help me or guide me in th right direct would be great. I have the MRI results here with me. it also said mulitple scattered foci of primarily subcortical increased signal on FLAIR imaging. Many of the lesions are closely associated with the cerebral cortex.
