Hello..I am new here as of today.

Since May I have been in horrible pain, seen numerous doctors & specialists. The last being a neurosurgeon, who ordered a mri. From the MRI she told me that she thinks I have nerve damage, but is sending me off for a second opinion. That is all I was told. 2 weeks later, I'm still waiting for the appt. for the 2nd opinion. Currently they have me on Norco for the pain, which I absolutely hate the side affects.

My neck is constantly hurting, this morning I woke up my arm hurting so bad, I could almost not bend it...I have a lump (inflammation the neurosurgeon says) on the back of my head, the top of my shoulders & upper back the muscles are instantly spasming when I get up. I am worried about my job, my boss has been very understanding, but I am worried that I won't be able to continue to do that kind of work they have been so patient & understanding. I am just truly frusterated.

Sorry for this being such a big whine session, but I am desperately seeking answers, that don't seem to be coming any too quickly.

Also if anyone knows of a good site on cervical nerve damage I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks for listening.

Flustered
