Thanks Susanne. I appreciate your comments and look forward to hearing from others as well.

Since I am only now days removed from the halo, I am taking things slowly. I have started going in my hot tub and found it to be absolutely fantastic! I have the water set at 100 F so no worries of overheating plus I limit myself to 15-20 minutes. The result is my nerve pain and tingling seems to simply melt away. I do modest stretching while I am in the tub as well. I find that even after I get out, the pain remains at bay for several hours. My hope of course is that it all eventually goes away and this simply is helping it along.

I wonder if anyone else has had this type of experience?

Happy thanksgiving to all!

Don
