5/1/01: I was recently diagnosed with degenerative spur on c-5 c-6 . There is also an extruded disk fragment measuring 1.3 cm, reaching the mid body of c-4. I have incredible pain in left shoulder, elbow, neck and numbness on left thumb. started PT but does not work. Dr. Thinks that if I can't live with the pain, surgery is the next step. Any one outhere who has found relief? alternative methods or surgery? I am in california L.A. area.
