@Seagoon_ much sympathy, I'm c6-c7 and now it looks like c4-c5, as MRI 4 months ago when the c6-c7 herniated showed a c4-c5 which became symptomatic just as the c6-7 settled down. It's scary to contemplate that this might continue regularly the rest of my life, it's fucking agonising. Still haven't worked out ideal pain meds. Opiods do nothing.

Got home at 4.30. So tired. Taught how to mix my meds better, doc made a precise diagnosis ( minor pinch of L3 ) , was told I’ll get better in 3 weeks, was referred to a specialist back pain program by the physio there, I am surprisingly limber for my age ( I do heaps of physio at home already) blood pressure etc is awesome. They wanted me to stay overnight but I wanted to be home.
I learnt a new phrase. Furniture walking.

Oowww. That’s got to be painful.
Doesn’t take much to pinch a nerve either but super painful and only gets worse over time.
Hope the meds are able to take the edge off and that you get better soon.
