I have a disc bulge at C5-C7 according to my MRI report which shows cervical canal dimensions from C2 to C7 as C2C3 11mm, C3C4 9mm, C4C5 11mm, C5C6 10mm, C6C7 9mm. Doctors say this is causing my left arm and wrist pain, making it hard to sleep or work. I've seen multiple doctors but no one has given me a clear solution. Is this condition curable? Right now I'm doing isometric neck exercises but wondering if surgery might be needed. If I wanted to consult you in person, where in OMR road could I meet you?
