JERRI
HASN'T ANYONE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT SURGERY?? I SUFFERED WITH TERRIBLE PAIN AND NUMBNESS FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I FINALLY GOT A DOCTOR TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY AND GIVE ME AN MRI WHICH ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN ME HAVING TWO SEPARATE NECK SURGERIES AND FUSING EVERY DISC IN MY NECK BUT THE POINT IS THAT IT HELPED A LOT AND AS FAR AS SURGERIES GO IT ISN'T REALLY THAT INVASIVE. A BIT OF ADVICE THOUGH - THEY WILL WANT TO HARVEST ANY BONE THEY USE FOR RECONSTRUCTING OR SUPPORT FROM YOUR HIP AND THAT IS ALMOST THE WORST PART OF THE SURGERY. I DID THAT THE FIRST TIME AND THEN THE SECOND TIME I ASKED THEM TO USE DONOR BONE FROM A CADAVER. THE RISK FACTOR IS ONLY SLIGHTY HIGHER AND IT WAS A MUCH EASIER WAY TO GO PAIN WISE. IF SOMEONE HASN'T SPOKEN TO YOU ABOUT SURGERY YOU CAN INITIATE THE CONVERSATION...YOUR THE ONE DEALING WITH THE CONSTANT PAIN. ANYWAY, GOOD LUCK.
