One of the WORST things a spinal patient can do is VACUUM. I was told by my Neurosurgeon that I was not to vacuum ever again! That was after my lumbar surgery, and I'm sure it's the same for cervical. It's the back & forth motion that is the culprit, plus the turning too. So have someone else do the vacuuming for you. Don't do it yourself.

And avoid surgery at all costs if you can. Try any and all conservative methods before you resort to surgery. Surgery is ONLY for mechanical problems - it will not relieve your pain, and if it does it's just a fluke. After surgery, you will be left with the same pain or worse. Also, the levels above & below the surgery site will fail because they have to take on more of the load -- it's called the "Domino Effect." The doctors normally don't tell their patients about this. It ends up in your needing more surgery down the road.

NEVER go to a chiropractor for any spinal problems until particularly when you have anything "severe." You can end up with more problems. Two different neurosurgeons told me that I could end up in a wheelchair & paralyzed by going to chiropractors. Many people disagree with this, but since 2 different Neurosurgeons told me this, I'm going to believe them.

With your MRI, you might be sent back for more therapy. I would think that would be the road to go at this point only perhaps going for a longer time this time. I hope it works for you.

I wish you the very best. Please keep us informed on how you do. God bles and take care. Hugs, Lee
