Title: going under the knife tomorrow -send prayers
Post by: GusRobin on May 21, 2012, 08:27:06 PM
Tomorrow (Tuesday 5/22) I go in for cervical disc surgery in the neck. Had a pain in my arm a few months ago and had it treated with exercise and steroids. After a couple months I started getting numbness so they sent me for an MRI. Showed a bad disc and a pinched nerve in the neck.
Ironic in that the wife had a similar problem in January.
So I'll be out of action for a few weeks. So send your prayers tomorrow.

Gus,

I will definitely be praying for you. I have nearly half my neck fused together and I am doing very well. Neck fusion's are generally very successful. Here are some pictures.

You got them. Good luck. I am putting my neck and back surgery off as long as I can. I suspect my neck and lower back are not going to wait much longer.

Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery.

I know 2 other people that had back surgeries for the same thing and they are both glad they did it.

You are lucky that you have access to quick health care. Where I am that is gone. My wife has had severe pain in her neck and upper back for years. When she finally decided to do something about it, it took 2 years to see a specialist, then 10 months to get a CT scan, then 2 months to see the specialist again and then we were told it would be another 10 to 12 months to get the nerves in her neck zapped. After 4 months of waiting she couldn't wait any longer and we elected to go to a private clinic and pay out of pocket and the wait for the nerve operation was only 2 more months. She goes in this Friday.

Again - good luck.
