Thanks for your response Dr.Smith, I do have wedge pillows, actually all types of pillows on and around my bed lol, currently trying water pillows, but it does not matter what I do the radiculopathy sensations just does not go away, just did my breakfast dishes and now typing and scrolling on my blackberry (no computer due to dial up only ugg!)both arms down to my hands are numb and zinging, its such a weird feeling and I hoped that symptom disappeared after surgery. Thanks again for your response and take care!
