I have Just been diagnosed with a 6mm lump on my spine in the area of C4/C5 as well as 3 Ruptured discs. Specialist is unsure what it is connected to but it is pressing on a nerve which gives me terrible pain in my upper arms even though i am on strong painkillers, has anyone ever come accross this, i am rather anxious about this especially as it may be connected to the spinal cord. My original specialist was ready to book me in for surgery on my disks but a scan with contrast revealed this lump so i was referred to a neuro surgeon for his opinion and he has already mentioned the possibility of surgery to remove the lump if it is decided that it is growing, stress levels right up at the moment.
