i think the disk that was herniated in my neck finally tore and blew out. i awoke this morning screaming in pain, like literally, and sobbing. after about an hour of trying to sit up, joey brought me in a vicodin (i threw away all my percocet from the spine fusion cuz i wanted to be off drugs) which barely helped. the doc called in tylenol 3 because i didn't have time to go pick up a script for percocet, so here i am.

something tells me surgery is in my very near future. so not happy about going under the knife again, but i hear cervical spine has a shorter recovery time than lumbar.

why can't i ever get a break!??

He doesn't mince words either. When I went to see him our first appointment was about an hour and a half long. He went over my films and then talked to me in depth about my history and symptoms. When we talked about the surgery he was upfront about what he was confident it would fix and what he wasn't sure about. In the end when I asked him point blank what he would recommend he told me, but up until I asked that question he gave me all my options and as much info as he could on each of them including how well he thought they would help.
