I had a herniated C-5/6 disc which compressed my right radial nerve. I couldn't lay down on my back, right side or stomach. I had to sleep on my couch on my left side for three months and only averaged about 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Needless to say, 24/7 pain that nothing could take care of. v I had a posterior discectomoy/lamenectomy about 7 months ago. I have nerve damage due to the compression and have no idea if it will ever go away. Get this taken care of soon.
