Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi
If c2,3 levels are implicated,an MRI may show extent of pathology.use a cervical collar, and do isometric cervical exercises under a physiotherapist.consult orthopedic doctor if traction is needed for relieving any nerve impingement in neck to account for hand symp3.
Take lyrica 75mg twice a day and myoril twice a day after meals.your surgeon may decide future course of action after evaluation
Best wishes
