Intense Neck Pain

Hi , I have been out of work now since the end of Aug. with severe neck and top right muscle/shoulder pain. Doc. said it was Brachial Nueralgia. Had x-ray done by Chiro.-3 IVR encroachments ( pinched nerves?).  MRI showed nothing. I will be seeing an ORTHO this Fri. I am in a cervical brace, and sling as needed and on 3 meds. Has anyone ever has this same problem. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Consult with a spine specialist (either ortho or neuro) and let them take a look at your scan.

How sucessful is a three level fusion on cervical? What percent has improved pain? returns to work?
