Hello Supriya ji,

Based on your symptoms and the diagnosis of a C5-C6 issue in the MRI, it seems your pain is likely related to a cervical spine problem. This could involve a herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, or cervical spondylosis affecting the nerves in the neck, which might radiate pain to the shoulder and upper back.

Recommended Specialist to Visit:

  1. A spine specialist (orthopaedic spine surgeon or neurosurgeon specializing in the spine) is the best choice for cervical spine issues. They can evaluate your MRI thoroughly and provide treatment options tailored to your condition.

  2. For chronic pain, a pain management doctor can offer treatments like nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections, or advanced interventions if surgery is not immediately required.

  3. Post-diagnosis, a physical therapist can guide you through specific exercises to strengthen the neck and upper back muscles, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

We can help you connect with a spine specialist or a comprehensive care center, ensuring proper evaluation and treatment planning. Let us know if you need further help!
