If the Physiotherapy doesn't help, your Doctor might suggest trying spinal injections. If your pain is currently at the 6/10 level and additionally you sometimes  don't have any pain, its too soon for surgery. You might get better and then you won't have to worry about it. These surgical procedures are serious business. When and if your pain level reaches the point that its constant and severe and all conservative treatments have failed, then it's time to seriously consider surgery.

If you reach this point, and hopefully you won't, your family doctor could refer you back to the Neurologist or to a Neurosurgeon. If you feel its important that the Neurologist see your MRI now, you could call his office and then make arrangements to have it sent over to him. Don't rush to have the surgery, you might not need it.

Your neck and shoulders contain muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, and veins, as well as many ligaments and other supporting structures. Many conditions can cause pain in the neck and shoulder area. Some are life-threatening (such as heart attack and major trauma), and others are not so dangerous (such as simple strains or contusions).
So it's better for you consult a chiropector.
