Thank you for such informative video. I have been diagnosed with a bulging disc (spondylosis) at c6/c7 and narrowing of the spinal canal. I wonder if I will be able to heal it without surgery.

For me, c4-c5. Eventhough it is a median bulged disc, i have from time to time an unpleasant sensation of my skin, towards the left shoulder down through the arm. Nevertheless when i feel pain, it's mostly located in front of my shoulder. It's been 5 months now, and i have the feeling that it can heal itself by vaccum or by dehydration... it's a long road and I miss the gym so bad. Any recommendations guys would be appreciated.

Good video! You could also talk about IJV stenosis - condition where neck tucking makes things worse. MSK neurology made a video about this as well

Will thanks so much for your channel. Ive been struggling for a long time with cervical stenosis (mild) also have DDD and disc bulge in neck. Im only 49 and wondering if surgery is the key as I don't want the issues to get worse. Im active and keep an healthy life style but getting more and more concerned with my neck issues. Any advice?

I have a question: I sometimes have weakness and pain running down my arm, but it quickly disappears. My hands and shoulders are not affected. I did the test you prescribed and it felt good. If I switched hands, it was a little painful. I can't figure out what is wrong or how I did this, but I remember that years ago I was taking off a sports bra by crossing my hands over my head and pulling hard. The bra was tight, because this was high impact aerobics. (I am 72 years old now.) I am still mystified, as my arm feels weak when I raise it, but the pain quickly disappears. I had begun to think this was a pinched nerve, but now I am not sure. What else could it be?

@DonaldGaron Жыл бұрын

Get tested for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome! Physical exam + MRI. Also make sure the cause isnt the shoulder or the neck of course.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I'm afraid I can't offer any specific medical advice for anyone over the internet without a proper assessment. Best to get checked by a professional for issues like this. I hope that helps!

Hi, if you see this please help me man, I ve been sitting with poor neck posture for over 1 year every day and all of a sudden I realized my C7 is kind of popped out and its not normal anymore, and too visible and everybody can tell its popped out, ive visited the doctor but he said this is normal and he related that to being skinny, but since I know myself it wasnt like this before, some time I can feel the signs in me arm but still the f.... doctors keep saying its normal and I have to rest to heal. I am a very tall person (6.3) and basically there is no standard desk for me and my job is day trading so I have to sit behind the laptop every day, I am worried a lot and I dont know what to do, when I bend my neck it gets even more visible and its embarrassing sometimes in the gym plus I have headach all the time, can I send my MRI to you to take a look possibly please? Please answer I will check this comment everyday fot your answer❤

Not to be personal but are your arms restricted in that shirt? Your muscles look too big for the sleeves & the buttons are straining across your chest. Lucky you but a size up might look better & not restrict you.
