[|Human|] hey, so 4 days ago I was cleaning the bathroom at my work and I felt a really sharp pain in my neck and went all down my spinal cord. I could barely walk that day but as it progressed it got better. jump to the next day and ever since, I ve had majopr pain in my neck to the point where I can t move it to my right, and I have pain in my shoulders and a tingling in my left hand. I looked it up myself and the symptoms seem to be that of a slipped disc, but could there be something else, and what should my next step be?
[|AI|]  Hi you have guessed it right these symptoms are probably of a disc prolapse in the cervical region and if the pain extends to the hand then lower discs may be involved.be on rest take analgesics get a MRI of the cervical spine done do not lift any weight on neck, do not excessively move the neck use cervical pillow. Traction may be helpful, and some doctors prefer a short course of steroids to reduce edema and pain.
