Default need advice

Hello everyone, Im New and hoping someone can help me out. I was diagnosed with disc herniations at c3-4, c5-6, c6-7 about 2 months ago. I have seen a neurosurgeon and he wanted to try PT for 6 weeks to see if it helped any. I am in my 3rd week of therapy and things are getting worse. I had profound weakness, numbness, and severe pain before, but all of that has worsened since I started. The weakness is so bad that I cant even grip a can of soda. The numbness has got to the point where I have lost almost all feeling in my arm. the pain has become even more unbearable. I cant make it through the day without pain killers. The question I have is if I should stop PT and call my doc or just push through and give it more time. The bad thing is all of this is in my left side and my left arm is my dominant arm. Im just tired of all this. Im having trouble doing the simplest of things, like putting on a shirt by myself. Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Brent
