Suggest Treatment For A Right Sided Neck Pain

For several weeks, I have been experiencing neck pain, primarily on the right side. It is very difficult to move my head in certain positions. In the past few days, the pain now goes down my right shoulder blade and sometimes in my shoulder. I have had a herniated disc in my neck, but it has not given me trouble in several years. Any suggestions or ideas?

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcare magic .
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think this might be a progression or exacerbation of your disk hernia of the neck.
First you need to do a new MRI of the neck and to compare the results with the old MRI .
If the situation is not worse then you can take some analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and use some collar and massage for the neck muscles relaxation.
If the disc hernia is worse then you need to check with a neurologist specialist and see the possibility of surgery for the hernia if it is compressing the nerve.
