I have At T4-T5, there is a small asymmetric left-sided broad-based disk protrusion. However, there is mild deformity of the left ventral aspect of the spinal cord related to this. No associated foraminal stenosis is seen. This was just recently found on an MRI after 8 months of treatment after a car accident resulting in cervical fusion of c34 c56 with instrumentation. I kept complaining of the pain between shoulders . FINALLY MRI of where the pain is revealed this? Should I be concerned. Any kind of therapy sends me into excruciating pain for days. They have tried dry needling with lidocaine in the muscles HORRIBLE pain. Any suggestions

no need to worry,the guess the pain is because of the change in neck and shoulder posture due to fusion of the vertebras. You just need to do simple shoulder shrugging,arm movement exercises.I suppose the wounds have Heald by now you can go with mild hot packs on the pain area to relax muscles
