I haven't told my NS yet, but will talk with him briefly before surgery. Thanks for the thoughts. I will keep you posted! |
I agree 100% with Ginnie----esp u have new symptoms. I inquired about herinations above level too. I know c2-c3 they usually leave alone if they can that level has higher risks. My c4 also has large herniation --he suggested leave it alone for now might need it down road. I never had any new symptoms before surgery---only my pain was getting worse--was actually looking forward to surgery. Please call them ASAP! !Lets us now outcome. You will be in my prayers all day 19th!!
