My MRI showed that in the "impression" section.

I have been suffering for a month now with debilitating pain in my left shoulder and arm, with my hand now "falling asleep".

In light of that, why would my PC doctor not recommend me to see a surgeon to get the openings for the nerves enlarged? Pain killers or "living with it" are not options for me, in my mind!

It doesn't seem like there would be any other solutions to getting rid of this particular pain, are there?
