Default Neck pain and focus issues?

New here to the site and sure would appreciate your opinion on something. I started to give a full back ground of my issues but it will be much easier to ask one vague question first.

I have multi level diskogenic disease, most prominent in c-3-4,c5-6 and c6-7. Ill get into the details later. I have had issues staying focused and feel like I'm in a fog at times. Can bulging disks, disk protrusions in these areas cause this?

I have issues at C3-4 - for one thing, a nasty herniation and it does at tiimes make me feel "foggy" when the pain is severe. It doesn't always bother me, as I can put me soft collar on, and it will subside after awhile.

So since you have multiple issues I don't doubt that it can make you feel foggy.

Do you have a recent MRI of the cervical spine? If you do, post it here and we can help you better understand what's going on (if you NEED the help, that is)

Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Hugs, Lee
