Thank you Dr Corenman.
I have had surgery two times in the area – C7 and T1, for discectomies. Since I do not have some of these lower body symptoms, I would agree that this is affecting just the nerve and not the spinal cord. I will look into the nerve block solutions. Is this something that can be also be treated with Physical Therapy, Chiropractic adjustments or is surgery about the only way to correct this pain otherwise?
