What Does A Bump On -5 C6 Vertebrae Indicate?

I am wondering if when head extended can you manually push the C-5 C6 vertebrae forward a small amount? I have felt a round bump for about six months and it feels like it moves with the vertebrae. Does the faucet on the vertebrae feel more spongy then the vertebrae itself? I just have a dull ache no pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

I personally recommend you ask your neurosurgeon for some imaging like CT, MRI, x-rays on your cervical spine for a more precised diagnosis it could be asymptomatic, and could cause some pain attacks. It also could be some kind of a cyst, or SC lipoma, even cervical herniation may cause some bulging. For now I recommend some physiotherapy with topical muscle relaxants or even yoga is effective. Advil tab, and Acetaminophen tab will be more than enough.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
