How Can Severe Pain In The Left Armpit And Neck Be Treated?

I have been in the care of a neurosurgeon for a month. Following a cervical MRI, I was told that I have cervical spine stenosis on both sides of C4, C5, C6 and C7. I m currently receiving Cervical spine injections along with physical therapy. I ve continued to experience left side back, armpit, arm and neck pain combined with tingling. What is the common treatment for this condition as well as duration for the symptoms? Any insight is appreciated. Thank You! Mitzi
