<s>[INST] Hi I have had pain in my neck since 10 days, I visited an Ortho and he did an xray and said it is a slip disk in the neck. My left hand pained too. The Ortho suggested to wear a Cervical collar with minimum medication for 10 days and said that the pain would subside. The neck pain has come down but my left hand seems to pain more. Can you please help understand the diagnosis here ? [/INST] As per your explanation. I suggest to check with MRI of cervical spine if the pain is too sever. As well, you must take some physiotherapy treatment and cervical spinal exercises too for getting some more early relief. For this consult a good physio near to your place. Now once the MRI report comes you can take opinion with your orthopedic as well with the physiotherapist based on the severity of disc issue and other things they will guide you further with medication and physiotherapy treatment along with postural advice or may be on surgical correction if problem is more and can not be corrected with primary care. You can also use hot and cold pack at home to have some more relief by reducing inflammation and relaxing soft tissues. Take care. </s>
