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%.
