I've been dealing with really bad pain in my left arm, shoulder, and wrist, and my doctor mentioned it might be related to mild C5-C6 PID on the left side. I'm starting to think about surgery but I'm not sure what the cost would be or if it's even the right option for me. Can you help me understand what to expect?
