Case Summary | Chipped Disc / Pinched Nerve
| Condition | Back Upper - Neck (Cervical) Herniated Disk |
| Case Description | Over the last few weeks I noticed a pain near my neck / shoulder area. It was excruciating pain and I could barely lift anything heavier than a bottle of water. I went to the doctor and he told me I had a chipped disc as well as a pinched nerve. This was done via X Ray and MRI. I also have inflammation in the area as well. I have taken anti-inflammatory meds and pain killers and it is doing a great job suppressing the pain. |
