Cervical nerve impingement increasing drammatically

Ever since I acquired mild nerve damage in my neck from minimally invasive surgery, the two MRI’s I’ve had since caused 9 mos of pain afterwards each time. It seems it’s caused by the powerful magnets. Has anyone else had this experience?
Also, I have had nucleus propulsus from a ruptured disk touch nerves and tissues at C5/6 or 6. It did burn all the nearby nerves and there was within 2 hrs but it has grown and grown for 9 mos and the pain is unbearable when I lie flat and it continues all night. Is there some treatment for the pain? It’s ruining my health. Would peptide therapy help? Red Light Therapy? Would a CBD pain cream? I don’t like menthol in lots of creams on a damaged nerve. It makes it angrier. TU.

You might consider cervical microdiscetomy without fusion at C5/6. It reportedly produces good results without fusion and only around 10% reherniate. The procedure is minimally invasive only removes the displaced portion of the pulposus and uses radiofrequency to repair the annulus.
Did your previous surgery involve metal implants. Did the second MRI reveal any changes caused by the first.
Heat and Ice alternately might help and some people try physical therapy, accupunture. But these are slow, temporary remedies.
google cervical nucleoplasty with annuloplasty. The success rate is said to be> 80%.
