I have bulging discs at C5-6 and C6-7. I can feel the problem at C5-6, shoulder pain, heavy arm, neck pain, headaches, pain down my arm to my thumb and first 2 fingers. This is in the spinal fluid. But at C6-C7, the Dr said that It is doing more damage. What kind of damage can be caused from C6-7? What are the symptoms I should be looking for. I am trying to wait a month before having the surgery so I will be out of school. Am I causing more damage by waiting?
