Hope everything works out. My neck is a mess. Congenital spinal stenosis, herniated discs, compressed nerves. I used to wake up in so much pain, I wanted to puke. I had some steroid injections, PT, and learned what set it off. Past few years have been pain free. Hope it stays that way and hope you find whatever combination works for you. I still occasionally wake up with numb arms, just lay flat on my back with no pillow and seems to work.
