Ha! Thanks. :) I wasn't thinking...
Maybe I should just say "neck"!
Watch what you say. Cervix is part of the uterus. Cervical is part of the spine. Similar words, but definitely not in the same place...I did get a chuckle....
I am sure with some differential treatment, and some general therapy, he would probably tweek it for you. I have had adjustments with bulging discs. I think it is all up to the chiropractor.
Ohnoma,tanglewood, Thanks for responding
Back In my early 20's I did see a Chiroprator and it helped a lot. I was pretty much pain free for about 10 years. My only concern is my neck. Should I be having a Chiroprator tweek my neck with a 3mm protrusion at my C-5-6?
I have issues in my Cervix; my right arm turns red/purple and gets real cold. I worry that I will lose the use of it, but my docs keep telling me I won't. If you're not having any symptoms other than the pain, I'd say you are in good shape for now. Maybe a cervical collar would help take the pressure off; I wear one sometimes. Fire fighting is a tough job. I'm sure it takes its toll on your neck. Maybe some PT would be helpful, too?
Good luck
I have had great success with a chiropractor for the siatica. Looks like a mild disc bulge in the neck. As far as disc space narrowing, that unfortunately comes with age. You obviously have some issues, but before all the meds and tests, I would seriously consult a good chiropractor. I was in much worse shape at your age, I don't think your career is over. Keep a positive outlook, and don't get depressed over it. I think that is one of the worst enemies of back injuries. Many people fall into the "Amplified Pain Syndrome", when they dwell on it and become depressed. See that chiropractor.....and Good Luck.
