ANSWER: Hi
I am not sure what your question is. Based on your MRI results I would advise you consult with your orthopedic surgeon to discuss possible non invasive forms of therapy.  You have some serious degenerative changes in your neck that should be managed.

Answer
I think that you are asking if you suffer from any nerve damage. Because you are experiencing some numbness, yes I do believe you are experiencing some nerve damage. There is a lot of things going on with your neck and shoulder. Your previous MRI indicated degenerative changes in your cervical spine including a disc protrusion which can impinge on the nerves which exit your spine. Your job requirements can increase your symptoms as it does cause increased pressure on your spine. You should begin with some conservative treatments, to help maintain your range of motion and increase your muscular endurance.
