I guess they have checked for a pinched nerve….try putting a hot pack on your neck where the bulges are, and if you are going through workmans comp, talk to your supervisor about getting a second opinion.

steriod injection could be helpful. there are also medications out there for nerve pain, neurontin, lyrica. I have had 2 epidurals in my neck and was on neurontin for several months this was 8 years ago and have not had any problems since.
