Extra, that sounds like a cervical bulge/ herniated disc.
The MRI should tell the GP what it is- but if you have pain radiatimg down your arm and it's severe then it's probably that. I have C6/C7 one
The MRI should diagnose it. You should only need the one.
The good news is they should get better - Google the diagnosis , there's lots of good advice about this . Have you been given Mckenzie exercises yet
Oh and don't be afraid to take the tablets- What are you on at the moment?
Peter_Carter
can you just walk in to have an MRI because you want to? Like not randomly, but you think something is wrong and you just want to know. Or does it still require a doc say so etc?
Gonna have my 7th, or is it 8th MRI soon... the NHS is still good for me...
