Brief Answer: Yes Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. I have read your query & I understand your concerns. Following is my reply: 1) Yes it is possible that cervical stenosis can cause neck pain and if it involves pressing of nerves passing down to chest , it is likely to cause chest pain that too localised in some part of chest. 2) Chest pain could be attributed to GRD. If you had no relief even after taking protonix then likely cause of chest pain is also Cervical stenosis. 3) Please see orthopedician with MRI report as conservative treatment can be started since it is in early stages. I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have. Regards, Dr.Mahesh Koregol
