Hello all,
I just wondered of someone could give me some advice, i have been diagnosed with the above [ plus mild chiari malformation which is not currently symptomatic ] I have just got back from my first physio session, and to my surprise ive been told that i will always have all this, the scolisis i can accept, but is it true that apart from daily excerses to strengthen my muscles the disc prolapse is some thing i have to accept and live with, ive been advised of things not to do, and to balance my activity / rest cycle out, ie; no gym / no neck straining activities .... i work with adults with learning disabilities who can present with unpredictable challenging behaviour, i am so worried that im going to have to look for another job ............. I simply can't accept that for the rest of my life i have to live with the fact that any jault to the neck could potentially damage my beyond repair ...........
Please any advice, experience would be so greatly appreciated right now.
