Chest pain resulting from c6/c7 problem?

by kasbb86, Aug 25, 2008 02:04PM
I am a 53 year old male who recently had an MRI with a neuroligist.  The results from the MRI indicated:
"At c6-c7:  Asymetric posterior  disc bulge is seen which is most prominent in the left posterolateral region which indents the ventral thecal sac and abuts and deforms the ventral spinal cord at this level without evidence of abnormal cord signal.  The midline AP thecal sac measures 8 mm, consistent with moderate central canal compromise.  Severe left amd mild right neural foraminal stenosis is seen secondary to the disc bulge."

I experience extreme pain in the left pectoral area, and occasional numbness in the left hand and arm.

After having these pains, I've seen a Cardiologist, Gastroenterolist, Sports Med. Dr, Massage Therapist and Chiropractor.  All tests were negative.  Also had a CT scan of the thoracic area reported no problem.

I have consulted a Neurologist and two Neuro Surgeons.  The first Neuro Surgeon indicated that the chest pain could be radiating from the c6/c7 problem and would require surgery, while the second NS said there was no connection between c6/c7 and the chest pain.

Is it possible that this chest pain is related to or caused by the C6-C7 disc problem?
