Hi @robert1551, Welcome to Connect. I'm not a doctor and have no medical training but spinal compression in the neck and spine can cause nerve pain according to many major health facilities. Here's one from John Hopkins:

"What are the symptoms of spinal cord compression? · Pain and stiffness in the neck, back, or lower back · Burning pain that spreads to the arms, buttocks, or down into the legs (sciatica)"
-- Spinal Cord Compression | Johns Hopkins Medicine: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/spinal-cord-compression

Have you thought about getting a second opinion or seeking help at a major teaching hospital or health facility like Mayo Clinic?

I would like to get into the Mayo clinic. I am afraid that it would take a long time to get an appointment. I have been reading on the Mayo clinic web site and the symptoms I am having is exactly what the web site says I should be having; C2 C3 moderate to severe right neural foraminal narrowing,
C3 C4 severe right neural foraminal narrowing also mild spinal canal narrowing,
C4 C5 moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing,
C5 C6 moderate to severe left and mild right neural foraminal narrowing,
C6 C7 mild spinal canal stenosis, moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.

L1 l2 broad based disc bulging results in mild spinal canal and bilateral lateral recess narrowing,
L2 L3 annular disc bulging result in moderate spinal canal narrowing and severe left and moderate right lateral recess narrowing, severe left and mild right neural foraminal narrowing,
L3 L4Annular disc bulging result in mild spinal canal and moderate bilateral lateral recess narrowing, moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing,
L4 L5 residual disc protrusion results in severe left lateral recess narrowing and moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing
