Hi Nathan ...have u tried treatments esi(epidural steroid injections)? There is a new machine for spinal de-compression not covered from insurance but many of my friends found great relief . Personally I had--i had a neck fusion c4 thru c7 and doing well --not perfect but 90% better. Have you seen a neuro or ortho spine surgeon? If you also have a copy of your Mri --we have many on this board that will break it down for you in laymans terms. I would suggest if surgery is on the table always seek 2 or 3 consults.
