Thnx i didnt know u could do that

Jomar raises some legitimate concerns. At your age, you should not be having any significant degenerative changes per MRI affecting exiting nerve roots. Uncinate arthrosis issues are not really much seen until age 40-50. Secondly, Your stated findings involve down to C4 roots which don't really much extend into your arms sensation-wise and really not much at all relative to motor dysfunction. Something is diagnostically awry.......

Idk the observation of the mri said their is some mild uncinate spurring the impression says probable. The pain doesnt go into to my hand my neck does fill stiff and painful at times but no headache. If its not bone spurs what could it be.

I am not saying that it is not your neck.....rather that there may be other considerations that make more sense. Peripheral nerve entrapment, brachial plexus injury/lesion, TOS, to name a few.

Seeing a compassionate neurologist and getting hooked up (EMG/NCV/SSEP) electrodiagnostically would likely prove useful....

I have a appointment with a orthopedic doctor the 21st ubtil then icant tell you what is wrong. I just dont want a huge amount of hospital bills only being 17

Nobody does no matter how old they are!

I’m not going to be delicate or easy here. You really are not going to find any easy or clear answers to your diagnosis at the present time. The only concrete diagnosis, MRI readings, prognosis or treatments are those with absolute terms such as readings with dimensional terms such as “the spinal cord is being compressed by 2mm” or the nerve is in compression that kind of terminology. Sadly (or really not sadly) the majority of us don’t get that absolute conclusion. Really if you think about it absolute in the spinal game is worse than the more marginal diagnosis most of us get.

The initial pain that you experience is the real issue here. If there was no pain you would not have gone to the doctor. How bad is it? Is it really bad, just irritating because it’s new or can you live with it? That’s your first set of questions. What can they do for neck pain?

I am a neck pain and surgery survivor (started 2000) so I do understand! There is a bright side to your situation…your age. You have the advantage that your body can help heal this problem. I realize the neck issues are a problem because there is really no way to limit using your neck. Are you into sports or computers? Try to identify what makes the pain worse. You’ve noted posture but that’s really problematic for the neck.

I posted the preferred cycle of treatment and sadly that’s as good as it gets. And here’s the real bummer YOU DO NOT WANT SURGERY ON YOUR NECK UNLESS ITS ABSOUTELY IMPERATIVE! It may be permanent but it does not guarantee that the pain will go away!

The orthopedic doctor is a necessary step for you. It can help! Anti-inflammitories, muscle relaxers, pain relievers, limit aggravating activities; even neck braces in the short run to relieve irritating motion all can help the body to heal. Hopefully with the doctors help the pain will be short lived and you can get back to normal. I know it’s not fun!

I used to play a computer all the time but not so much anymore. Other than being pushed off a porch when i was a baby and busting my head then it got busyed by a concrete rock and i had a four wheeler accident like 6 years ago landing on my forehead resulting in a busted head i have no other major accidents other than trying to do back flips on trampolines and landing on my neck i have no pther injuries. I lay on my stomach with my head twisted to the right or left while hanging my arm over the bed that helps most of the time and that is the only way i can sleep. I tried muscle relaxers and anti inflamatories
Back in janurary ish and i still have the pain so its not going away over time

Those old traumas & previous computer use could make for painful soft tissue injuries or even a form of TOS.
I suggest exploring the useful sticky threads on the TOS forum link that I gave earlier.

Many MDs are not very knowledgeable of TOS or related syndromes..
A very good PT person/or chiropractor might be of help now if for only for therapy & pain relief.
