Increased Pain With Current Shock Type Feeling In Neck, Shoulder. Have Herniated Disc, Bulging Disc. Any Suggestions?

I have have had documented herniated disc and bulging disc by MRI in neck. I have had two and the second showed some worsening of neck. Surgeon did not want to do surgery just for pain. I agree. Lately, I have had increase pain in the neck and left shoulder and an electrical current type feeling running down my neck and seems slightly to left. Can't find a comfortable position. Muscle relaxers and two aleve tablets do not help.
