I know that I do have a herniated disc at C5/C6, but for the life of me....and I'm not a radiologist, but I look at my CD and the neck looks fairly normal. I know they describe the average neck as arthritic, stenosis, spurring, bulging this and bulging that.....However, I swear that I have a monstrous trigger point in my shoulder blade, but, I suppose it could also be the nerve coming out of the neck. I see the first neurosurgeon on Tuesday...and the second in a month. I will not allow any scalpel near my neck until I've exhausted all limited options.
