i went to the doctor today and she said they didn't find nothing but my chiropractor looked at the same x-rays and said i had misalignment's, so I'm gonna change my doctor and I'm gonna do the same thing cause i have been having so many problems and i can't get them to give me an MRI or a Cat Scan...i have knots all over my head that developed about a year after a car accident that at the time of the accident caused me to completely lose my memory, and now there's knots?? i don't understand why there all of a sudden there, but they don't seem concerned about them, so I'm gonna keep changing doctors till i find one that will help me...!

it was never offered to me, I had to push so hard for help, I found a neurosurgeon myself made the appointment and went in for an exam,,,,he ordered a CT scan, then booked me for surgery in 2 weeks , so glad its done. I know the kind of pain your feeling , I have been there/

your case sounds much worse than mine I had the neck and shoulder pain for 3 years just had neck sugery with disc replacement and fusion, I am sooooo happy with the results,.I can not do much for 6 weeks . I am 47 dr said I had neck of 80 yr old now have neck of a young teen it will last the rst of my life no more pain.

I may need one more surgery...my point to you dont rule out surgery its not all horror stories sometimes its helpful and successful
