Apparently I had an extra cervical disc (a long Neck) and developed fibrous bands on either side to support it which squashed my arteries and nerves. No I have a lot of permanent damage done before the decompression, which is one of the risks of long term compression of sensitive structures. That is, they don't fully recover once you release the pressure. Besides, I had the traction damage as well. The most recovery usually occurs in the first year or so following surgery...I can't really comment further on alternative to surgical options as an active strategy as i only put it off because of risk to right arm as I only had partial use of left...booklover
