Cervical arthritis

[Catrin]

I got the call today from my doctor's office on the results of the MRI for my cervical spine....

degenerated disks (C5, C6)
bulging disk
bony protrusion pressing on a nerve

The word "surgery" was suggested...but apparently there is an injection therapy that might work to shrink the protrusion (how would that work?) Obviously there is much to be considered, and I see my doctor next Wed morning.

They found other things as well, but my brain pretty much had shut down by that point. No wonder my neck has been bothering me in recent months, and here I thought it was stress
