Thanks to all of your responses. I don't think it is as alarming as it may sound. It is definitely due to compression, however, there really is no pain. It is just an annoyance. I am wondering if surgery would alleve me of this nuisance. Dr. Ahn said maybe, maybe not. Had he said yes, I would have had surgery right then and there! Of course, nothing is for sure.

I will let you know if I have surgery and if it alleviates this. Thanks again.
