I suffered an injury at work where i struck my head on an overhead lift door. the head aches have never stopped and with the use of Excedrin can be kept to a pain level of about 3 on a scale of 1-10 1=low 10= very bad. I have tried to get to the bottom of this for almost 2 years and after visiting close to 8 doctors they finally have done what i requested in the beginning to have an MRI of my neck and head. they found in the c3-c4 and c5-c6 annular tears. i am now being referred to a pain specialist but doubt that any good is going to come of it. my symptoms are still hear i have a constant ringing in my ears since the accident and the head aches vary from mild to very intense. the workers comp closed this case 2 times and now since i am seeing a lawyer have decided to reopen it again. i am just curious as to what i am looking at can this be fixed or is it permanent?
