    Thank you Doctor Corenman for the useful information. So far I’ve seen a GP and Orthopedic doctor who ordered the MRI. I’ve also seen the Physical Therapist. None of them have indicated that there is any nerve root involvement other than saying degenerative changes C6-C7. But I am going to a spine doctor in the next few days and show him the MRI and see what he has to say. I have taught myself how to read the MRI and I do see what looks like a bone spur at the C6-C7 level but of course I’m not a doctor although I will point this out to the spine doctor.

    Thank you so much for your guidance and help. Of course I would see you if I were in Colorado but unfortunately I am in Brooklyn, NY.

    thank you Doctor!

    I will ask for another MRI/X-ray and begin physical therapy. After a few days of cold compresses and finally getting some full night sleep I do see some improvement. I also do gentle morning stretches now and wonder if it is okay to sit at a 45 degree angle in a chair or is that exacerbating the condition?

    When I attempt to maintain proper alignment in my neck, pain develops, although I must say less so as time goes on.

    FYI – they did do a full a thorough examination of upper extremities to look for deficits in strength, sensation and reflex.

    Thank you so much for your advice.

    Lester.
