No I am not having any pain other than in a general area. My pain only comes up when I have been wearing a motorcycle helmet, or I have had my head held in a certain position for a long period of time. I get pinched nerves traveling up and down my neck and into my shoulders pretty easy, so I have to watch how much pressure I put against my neck. The worst time is when I try to roll over in bed, I have to be aware of how I roll over. Other than that I have no serious pain. I was just trying to get an idea of how bad my condition is because I had to do a physical for my job interview. Along with that, they ordered up the MRI of my neck. But they won't go over it with me and for some reason the doctor won't tell me if it medically disqualified me for the position or not. All they would tell me is that they sent my file to the HR department. But for some reason the HR dept wants to be stingy with the information as well. So now I don't know if I need to seek help and look for a different line of work or if I got the job and this is just something that needs to be watched. Thanks for your reply!!
I have transcribed many reports like this. Are you having pain all over more than anywhere else, or is it localized to one area of your neck?
It's a lot of changes. I'm not a surgeon, and you need to have a neurosurgeon explain the significance and whether this can and should be improved surgically. Make sure you get a highly rated one. My ex had cervical spine fusion and has had a very good result, but he waited sort of long, and he still has nerve pain going down his arm, but at least the other changes got turned around by having the surgery. He was starting to stumble and stuff. I remember he had cervical stenosis and two herniated discs among other things.
