Degenerative disk disease & Reversal of the normal cervical lordosis
Hi Lucy
Thank you for your reply. I have been feeling mild pain on the neck extremeties and upper back for the last 3 months. My doctor did not even mention conservative treatment in the discussion I had with him. When I told him I use the laptop almost all day long sitting in the coach. He advised to wear a brace. My concern is wether to go for as surgery or just use conservative treatment would keep me safe. Thanks

It looks like pretty benign results on the MRI, but I've seen people with horrible results who's conditions don't warrant surgery, and others with mild results who are so severely impaired that surgery is certainly indicated.
Spine surgery should be avoided if possible... you do surgery to get from a pain level of 8 to a 4... you don't do surgery thinking you'll go from a 4 to a 1. How severely impaired are you? mark

Hi Farid,
Mark sure spelled it out for you. I would never do surgery for some mild irritation or pain. Only severe . Sometimes it may make things worse, no way of telling. That is why you avoid spine surgery unless you just can't function anymore. Oh i had a typo on my name. My name is Judy! Please let us know if you have any more questions. Judy

I think we should all call her Jucy from now on!
Fmohadi, I'm very glad to hear that surgery is still optional for you. Be very careful before you leap! All the best... please keep us posted, Mark
