i think its your herniated disks though, because your neck was stiff, and your arms were in pain. i think you should get a second opinion, someone who specializes in spine issues.

I actually did go to a neurosurgeon at Columbia/New York Pres. and he just suspect that it is something autoimmune. He was more of a talker than a listener though. I think I probably do have something autoimmune going on, but this might be a separate issue. I am going to talk to my neurologist to see if he thinks I should speak to another spine specialist. I didn't get to speak with him much about my neck. Most of the appointment after being diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy was focused on finding causes (which he hasn't found).
