Spoke to another client today. August of last year, he was screaming for neck surgery. His symptoms were new, so his doc here recommended against doing anything right away. He was hurting so much, that he really wanted to have it anyway and wanted my help in organizing surgery overseas. Shortly after we started discussing potential surgery dates, he called me up and said the symptoms had subsided and he was much better. That was 8 months ago and he's still doing well. (I spoke to him today to get OK to discuss his case online.) Bad pains are still gone. He still has annoying tingling in fingers and occasional sharp pain in elbow, but all symptoms are at annoying levels and do not limit him at all.
Pictures below.
PS... I'm not suggesting that his case applies to anyone else's. These decisions are difficult ones and at times may involve substantial risk.... risk of waiting... risk of doing surgery...
