I was just diagnosed with a severe cervical disc herniation C5-c6, my right hand arm leg and foot became numb when my chiropractor was doing a neck traction. My MD put me on oral steroid which helped slightly but still feel the numbness would like to know if there are stretches, exercises or things I can do to help it ? My Dr. does not want me to do any physical therapy or chiro. or anyone touch me until I am more stable its been 3 weeks already. He put me on Meloxicam 7.5 mg 2 days ago wants me to take for couple of weeks and then do a nerve test. I would like to get a 2nd opinion , is there anything I can do to help this situation I have not been able to go to work as I am a dentist as I don t want to make things worse. Any feedback will be greatly appreciate it
