Hockey- my concern is that if I go to a orthopedic surgeon that they will want to cut... which is what my chiro thinks... he has seen the MRI and says it is a toss up... he was Peyton Manning's chiro and said that my neck is very similar...
Mark- I have had both of my shoulders rebuilt... took a year to get back to "normal" but I had no choice.. I was dislocating by washing my hair.
I do not understand what "foramina narrowing" is...
My other concern is.. could this be what is causing my headaches? I know that there is some fluid up there too but wondering if this could be part of the issue...
I have been doing soft tissue massage twice a week and chiro work twice a week as well as acupuncture since May... nothing has changed.. My chiro says my neck is more stable finally but there are some real concerns that he can not fix.
torn on what to do...
