Turns out I have a disc bulge between two of my cervicals and it’s pinching a nerve, which is very very painful and weakening my arm and finger sensitivity.
I’m not here asking for advice, rather to get an idea of what’s down the road for me depending on the type of treatment I’ll end up following. I am seeing a doctor, I have an appointment tomorrow. I also had a CT scan done.
So basically if you’ve had something similar anywhere on your spine I’d appreciate to know about it. Did you recover fully? How long did it take? What treatment did you follow? Did you complement it with anything such as specialized exercises, acupuncture, massage or else?
I was one of the people who did my homework exercises, and still do (mostly). It’s worked well enough.
I wish my father would have. He almost immediately wrote them off as unnecessary and blamed insurance for not wanting to pay for surgery even though multiple doctors recommended physical therapy instead. He’s now two or three years into the pian.
