[|Human|] Hello doctor, recently I had a car accident.  An SUV hit the back of our car.  A few minutes after the collision, I felt pain at my neck on the right side, which later on continued up to my right ear and right shoulder.  Had an MRI and revealed small central disc annular fissure formation at C5-6 level.  Although it also revealed straightened cervical spine and unremarkable cervical including the upper thoracic cord, I am still worried about the annular fissure at C5-6 level.  I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow.  I just got the MRI results today and he is yet to know the impression.  Would you please explain the prognosis or sequelae of my cervical condition?  I still feel pain at this time.  It has been 5 days since the accident happened.    Thank you very much!
[|AI|]  If annular fissure is cause of your ain and medicines like gabapentin, tramadol, NSAIDs are not relieving your pain there are some interventional means to cure you. Epidural steroid injections can give you relief until nature heals the annulus, or you can directly go for angioplasty. Both these procedures are day care procedure where under C-arm guidance under local anesthesia with help of some needles we are able to treat you.
