How To Treat The Pain In The Neck And The Related Headaches?

Hi, I had a C6-7 surgical operation in 1996. I ve been having severe headaches and I can point right to the pain in the neck about C3-4. I am also having pain through the armpit down the arm. I do have a surgeon and I can see a neurologist if need be. What do you think?

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
U seem to have compressed a nerve in the neck somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in head region. Possibility of a cervical disc prolapse should be kept in mind.
I suggest you get an Xray of neck and that region as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause and consult a neurologist.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
