neck injury

[zero1]

hello

i had a neck injury in nov 05 .  i have been diagnosed with a cervical strain and 7 months ago i had a mri done that showed an impinged nerve root at c-6  . the report said it was a 2 mm disk buldge  with earaly degenerative disc disease .  it dosent sound like much but man i have been in pain since day one .  i had to bend under a 3 1 half foot countertop 30 or more times a day just to get to the registrar to do my job .  i also filled up hevy bottles of propain just to do my job.  and i had pick up soda filled crates and pull up and down garage doors when i had to fill propain .  i t was just a strain at first then it developed into pain over a period of 5 months .  it just got worse and worse until i started hearing clicking and poping in my cervical area  .  then i would message it all the time hopping it would go away while i was beeing over worked at a  gas station while the sun beat on me through the window a lot of days .  .  then i had a couple of days off work and it was tense and strained all day .  the next day same thing  then the next day i had to go to work and i could not get out of bed .  i had to call in and tell my boss .  2 days later i told him it was not better and he said to go see my own doctor .  so i had to wait a week to see him .  he was shocked to see the condition i was in .  i had to move out of my appartment because lack of funds .  i had to move into a garage and sleep on a couch for a while just to survive .  the couch made me worse  over 2 months untill my arms went compleatly numb . i went to the emergency room on dec 25 again because of it was so scary .  the day before i went i remeber telling my mom that if i dont make it that i really love her .    its been almost 2 years since my injury with poping and clickin /  grinding  .  i was so locked up in the begining it was the cyropractor that gave me my motion back .   6 or 7 cortazone shots helped over a period of 4 months to help strenthen my neck  but it just went back to burning hurting strained every time i use my neck .  it feels broken but no doc can say that do lack of a proper diagnosis .  i  want to know if it is curable and i want to know what the real cause is .  im still on disabillity and all they want me to do is go back to work when i 100 percent do not think im ready yet .  it hurts every day now .  it usualy good till about 2 or 4 oclock then it just get worse and worse throughout the day .  i feel like there is no hope even though it feels like its getting better and stronger i dont really think it really trully getting better because its like a permanent condition im stuck with .  im also getting pysical therapy and it helps but .  my xrays showed nothing wrong except possible torticullis .would a neurologist hurt my wc case becuse of a possible negative results from a test as my doc stated yesterday when i asked him to see a neurologist .   i just want the best chance of getting better and if a neurologist can help i am all for it .  .  its always piched on the right side of my neck where they said there is a piched nerve.  the pain is also in my upper back going down about 3 vertabrates its always sore in there as it is in my neck and shoulders as well .  my hands and arms loses sensation almost every day but usually not to the point where they go numb .. when im laying down and i toss over to each side i feel and hear clicking and feel movment in my c - spine on bolth sides depending on witch side i turn on .  it horible to live every day like this but i somehow manage like all other ppl with injurys .  i feel for all ppl an this website or any body with a serious injury .when i lay flat on my back with a pillow under me it burns often .  the clicking has a lot to do with my breating when i take in deap breaths or normal breaths .  now most of the clicking happends on the right side where the piched nerve is but still happends all over in my c-spine area and clicking and poping below my neck .  there is many many symptoms and it feels broken to me expecially after sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time .   i cannot fully enjoy a single day out of my life without constant pain and sornesss pinching and clicking.  it always feels sore in the c - spine .  is pysical therapy benificial or can it make things worse .  i have so many questions i just dont know the right ones to ask .   i heerd its my right to see a neurologist so i thought i would ask here first before i just go
