Cervical degeneration after nearly 2 years getting worse

...continuing from previous, I asked my GP for cortisone injections to ease my pain but he told me that it wouldn't help me even though my neurologist recommended it.

I think I am not getting much support from the medical professiionals.

I even asked them if if PRP/STEM CELLS injections could help me. They told me that it is experimental and they don't know much about it.

I think the lidocaine/cortisone shots would help you relieve any inflammation surrounding your nerves/nerve roots and soft tissues. Can you get the pain management doctor (neurologist/orthopedic) to do the injections and avoid the GP? I get my spinal injections through my Orthopedic Spine doctor’s office (doctor that specializes in spine pain management injections). You should get more support from the medical community to help improve your quality of life and reduce pain.
