Hi Micki723,
Your situation sounds similar to mine. I have a partially bulging disc and some vertebral arthritis at C5/6 since I had a whiplash injury 4 years ago. I have constant pain in the neck and shoulder and I have tried every non-surgical treatment I could possibly try. I was wondering if you've found anything that is helpful. I haven't and I have started to think about a fusion surgery, but am scared of it. I recently got a second opinion and the new Dr. suggested a discogram, which is scary too. Hope you are doing better than I.
I recently had a a cervical disc replaced and I am experiencing no relief...before the surgery I had pain down my right arm...now I have pain down both arms and down my spine...has anyone else experienced this
Social Security turns down about 40% of first filing. The first appeal is automatic and there are several more possible. Best thing would be to get one of the lawyers that specialize in this.
Wcd1 - thank you , thank you , thank you! I am now corresponding with Dr. Blumenthal in Plano, TX and hope to avoid fusion.
