What Causes Severe Neck Pain When Suffering From Herniated Disc?

i was diagnosed with herniated disc c3-4 c4-5 c5-6 with bright signal at c4-5 due to severe pain in my neck after a mva on 4-21. saw a neurosurgeon 1 wk ago and he said it was mild herniation and anular tear in c4-5. He said it was probably just muscular/skeletal pain and to use home traction 10 lbs 3 x a day for 2 weeks then I could go back to work. The pain is no better and it really hurts when in traction. should I seek a second opinion?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
you can surely seek a second a second opinion. but why don't you think of meeting a physical therapist. totally non invasive therapy and strengthening of your neck muscles. I myslef see lot of cases with disc herniation. and all does well with Physiotherapy.
