What Causes Difficulty In Moving The Neck And Pain In The Shoulders?
I have a plate in my C5-C6 and recently found out I have a herniated disc at my C4-C5 that is narrowing and nearly effaced and is measuring at 9mmX4km. I also have a herniated disc at my C6-C7 that is narrowing and is measuring at 17mmX3km. I am considered because I am having trouble moving my neck, I have pain in my shoulders and my left thumb and right pinky are numb and tingly. Am I looking at more surgery?

Hello,
Since you have trouble moving neck and numbness in fingers I think you are having more problems with your neck. Possibly herniated disc and surgery may be needed again. You may need to visit orthopedic surgeon to help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
