Thumbs up Thank you Ginnie

I was reading some of your responses to other people in our situation and it dawned on me that I needed to ask you a question.

You said you had experienced the "domino effect", which my OSS warned me could happen. I am currently comparing my before surgery MRI results and my after, and while I see big improvements (thank GOD!) I am now concerned about C4-5 which was normal prior to surgery but now is showing signs of trouble. How soon did you notice other discs having issues after your first surgery?

I told my dr I would try a block. He said it really could go either way. I agree with your statement that if it doesn't work the first time not to try it again. We have not done PT, I don't think he wants to try that as it may not benefit me. As it stands now, if I go a whole day of activity, I'm no good for two days after....
