Disc Piercing Spinal Cord, Pinching Nerve, Bruised Vein. Why Charlie Horse?

Well I am currently pending an operation on my neck , they say I have a disc that is piercing the spinal cord , pincing nerve. I have had so many issues from cramps/charlie horses all over feet , hands ,legs you name it, about 50 in one day.. Noew I notice that even if its a light bump or knock, the arear burns, feels inflammed, and so sore and tender for some time after, almost like the vein is bruised, even looks bruised inside. what is this?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
This is an acute condition of spinal cord of neck area and sooner you get it operated upon the better it would be as there is some compression of nerves there to account for bizarre symptoms which need early intervention to prevent permanent damage.
