P.s. The disc fusion for the bulge was a walk in the park compared to the TOS surgery. It really is a fairly easy surgery to recover from, I would get it fixed asap.

Thanks, how can you tell the diff between the disc pain and the TOS pain? And why fusion over disectomy (scraping the disk and spurs from the back)of the neck. They want to give me an epidural which I have been resistant to but may do it now. Getting two other opinions in the next couple of weeks.
