It does sound absolutely correct. Slipped disc and OA are not uncommon and to have it in your neck goes hand in hand. Being an OA sufferer I can only say this doesn't actually get better but it can be helped with physio, hydro pool, and pain meds.
Sometimes surgery is an option but this would depend on the degree of OA.
Your return to work will depend on how you can cope may I ask what kind of work you do. Hopefully no lifting involved.
Take Care hope you get some answers soon.

Hi vlad,i was told 4 yrs ago that i had degenerative disease in my neck and 2 slipped discs.I have had physio endless amount of medications,but to no avail,i havnt worked for a couple of yrs now.I attended the pain clinic at my local hospital the Dr there has been very understanding, i have had facet injections in my neck and also had denervation but it didnt give me much relief,so am now waiting to have the discs in my neck replaced!One thing that is worth a try and really helps the muscles in your neck and shoulders is get a pair of hiking poles and use them when you are walking they give you extra stability and something to lean your weight on when that pain kicks in.Not only that if you only use one it looks better than a walking stick.lol,i have really found the benefit from using them.Anything is worth a shot when you cant get out of the pain.Take it easy.
