Life Herniated disc in neck... - Page 8

Anyone ever have to deal with this?

Causing nerve to get pinched and left arm is all but paralyzed and throbbing with insane amount of pain.

Already getting atrophied. Over an inch in circumference lost already.

MRI tomorrow and hopefully surgery or something to fix soon.

Glad i haven't had to deal with any of that. Then again mine are all lower. S1-L3. Only other thing than pain is my left leg has lost a lot of strength and range and tends to drop put on me when I walk. It really sucks when that one small part of your body can screw so much other crap up.

Hopefully you'll not have any more problems, or at least push them many years down the road.

Wish this was the last of it for awhile but it isn't. I have really bad arthritis in my AC joint and need that fixed. That involves just removing the last inch of the collar bone so it can't rub anymore.

That will greatly reduce how heavy I will be able to go for chest and shoulders.

I am paying big time for spending my younger years like I was invincible.

Go under the knife in a little over 12 hours. Time to become slightly less human.

Government run insurance? This is my shocked face.

Private coverage will fuck you just as good.

Years ago I was approved for a lengthy leave due to back issues. When it came to disability pay though, nope we don't believe your back is actually hurt.

Nope. I'm not bitter about it still. 5 years later. Not one bit.

I still say it was worth every bit of time I spent playing football, baseball and other sports and doing crazy shit...

Finally got this shit fixed was pumped so full of opiates that made me so nauseous I had to stay overnight

So excited to be able to walk across the room and not get

In case I have this done someday I'm going to try and un-read "yank".

Glad yours was successful.
