Oh Doydie, you need to get out from under the black cloud of bad luck that's been plaguing you . Necks are no fun to hurt at all either, I just really hope they'll do the surgery for you, I have a bulging disk in my neck and can't turn it very far to the left, I can't look over my left shoulder, the farthest I can turn my head is to just see my left shoulder out of the corner of my eye. But I'm not a candidate for surgery . My DH is hoping to get his neck operated on around the beginning to middle of next year for a narrowing of a disk that's causing his left arm to go pins and needly numb, but since finding out about the his being able to have surgery to fix his neck he's been having fun telling me neener neener neener.

The worst of it is, it's not just my neck, I have a bulging disk in the thoracic spine and one that is bulging and herniated in the lumbar spine and not a single one that they'll go in an operate on. Doesn't matter the pain and problems they cause me, they simply won't touch my spine with a ten foot pole. Which I can't understand... I have great posture, the disks are evenly spaced and open, there's some mild degeneration to the vertebrae other than the one I snapped and a few minor cracks to others up and down the spine but for the most part it's a great looking spine... you'd think they'd want to go in and just wiggle those disks back into place and poof I should be doing so much better.... but nope, my posture is too good and my symptoms too mild for where the disks are at to risk any kind of surgery. Before a spinal surgeon will touch me I have to lose use of limbs or something first until then they've said I can just live with the pain and that came from 3 different specialists.

They need to start doing more research into bionic bodies. I just need a new body and all will be well.
