I really need some help diagnosing what is wrong with me. I've seen 10+ doctors in Bangkok including 3 chiropractors and still no one knows what the problem is. It started spontaneously about 10 weeks ago. My symptoms are:

1. Pain and discomfort in the back of my neck, my left shoulder and trapezius, and sometimes around my upper thoracic spine. The vertebrae in the back of my neck (C5-C7) almost always feel tender and sore when pressed.
2. Numbness in my hands and fingers, and sometimes my right forearm and bicep. The numbness is worse in my right hand and arm. I'm also starting to get electric shock type feelings in my hands on both sides. The numbness tends to happen when I'm teaching at my computer in a chair without a headrest for longer than 30 minutes. The numbness usually starts in my pinky and ring finger in my right hand and spreads to my whole hand and forearm/bicep if I continue sitting at my computer longer than that. I also sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with numb hands. Usually, I'll be sleeping on my left side and my right hand will be numb, but sometimes I'll be sleeping on my right side and my left hand will be numb. I also sometimes experience numbness in my hands and fingers when laying down on the sofa while using my phone.
3. Discomfort when swallowing (occasionally).
4. Difficulty breathing (rarely).
5. My neck feels unstable and I feel like it constantly needs self-adjusting to be in proper alignment. Certain bones often feel out of place or locked and I feel like one or more of them are impinging my nerve roots and/or spinal cord when I sit or sleep in certain positions. My neck seems to be the most stable when standing but does start to feel like it's about to give out after a few hours and my right forearm starts to get numb along with my right hand and my left hand a little bit too.

According to the doctors and physiotherapists I've seen, I have:

1. Mild bulging discs at C5/C6 and C6/C7 but no sign of spinal cord or nerve root compression.
2. Hypermobile joints in the middle of my neck (maybe C2 to C6).
3. Extremely tight hamstrings.
4. Weak rhomboids.
5. Large knots in my scapula muscles (which have become much smaller thanks to my physiotherapist).
6. A large bone spur on the front left side of my neck at C5/C6 (which can be seen in the CT scan below). Some doctors think it is totally benign. Others think it may be causing at least some of my symptoms.
7. Reversed curvature of my neck.

History: When I was 12 I was assaulted by my wrestling coach. He picked me up over his shoulders and dropped me upside-down on my head. I blacked out and woke up being carried home by my friend. X-rays didn't show any broken bones but I think this injury caused the bulging discs and it may have caused the bone spur to form. I have dealt with neck pain and muscle tension in my neck and back on and off over the years ever since then.

Based on my research and consultations with various doctors, here are some of the possible diagnoses:

1. Pinched spinal cord due to bulging discs at C5/C6 and/or C6/C7.
2. Pinched nerve roots due to bulging discs at C5/C6 and/or C6/C7.
3. Facet joint syndrome/dysfunction/sprain.
4. Thoracic outlet syndrome.
5. Some form of cervical instability due to hypermobile joints and/or weak neck muscles.
6. Disc micro-injury.
7. Nerve damage.
8. Sprained ligament(s).

Here are the scans and tests I've done so far:

1. X-ray of c-spine.
2. Flexion-extension x-ray of c-spine.
3. MRI of c-spine.
4. Flexion-extension MRI of c-spine.
5. Muscoskeletal ultrasound of posterior neck (results normal).
6. Nerve test (results normal).
7. Carpal tunnel test (results normal).
8. MRI of brachial plexuses with contrast.

Here's a link to a Google Drive folder containing all the scans and medical reports I've gotten over the past 9 weeks:

Here are some the things which reduce my symptoms:

1. Yoga.
2. Jogging on my treadmill followed by hot epsom salt baths.
3. Swimming.
4. Cervical traction (but it's difficult for me to do it with an over-the-door device without hurting myself).
5. Cervical distraction adjustment (pulling the head upward off the shoulders).
6. Heating pad.
7. Massage.

What do you think it could be? Can you recommend another test I should get? Can you recommend a treatment? Do you think prolotherapy can help me? Should I come to your center? I'm not sure if I can get prolotherapy in the neck in Thailand and I can't find a hospital or imaging center which does digital motion x-rays. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much 🙏
