Has anyone here had nerve pain that is usually not associated with the offending disc?

I ask because my herniation is at C5-6 and I have pain that is associated with the muscles that are innervated by the C6 nerve root. However I do have pain and numbness in areas that suggest other nerve roots like my pinky and ring finger going numb.

Multiple MRI's show only C5-6 with any damage.

I am thinking that other nerves are running through muscles that are in spasm from the C5-6 herniation and therefore are being compressed. However when I bring this up to a doctor, I get the "you need to be on crazy pills look".

Any ideas would be helpful.
