I was diagnosed with bulging discs from C2 to C7 due to a work-related injury in 2006. Despite initial treatment for a thoracic sprain, I continue to experience severe neck pain, headaches, numbness, tingling, and swelling in my right arm and hand. Recently, these symptoms have spread to my legs, left arm, head, face, back, and below the belt. My current medications (oxycodone, hydrocodone, TENS unit, lidoderm, and tramadol) are no longer effective, and my pain level is past 10. Why is this happening, and what further diagnostic steps and treatments should I consider?
