I'll tell ya what. I've got just ONE herniation at C3-4, and there are times i get such a horrible headache, I want to crawl the walls! so i put on my soft cervical collar, and it usually does the trick. but you have several herniations, so i can just about imagine!

since you have foraminal narrowing, it's got to be causing some nasty symptoms. i would probably get a referral to a neuro-spine doc if it were me. i just happen to prefer neurosurgeons. but it's all a preference. ask your doc for a referral and see what the doc recommends. but keep in mind that surgery should be a LAST RESORT because you are never the same after surgery. i've had 3 surgeries and i'm now disabled. also, pain is never a reason for surgery. best of luck and god bless. hugs, lee
