New. Hi everyone!

Hi Laura,

Sorry to hear about your cervical spine. Is your pain mostly central? Do you have radiating pain to your arms and hands? I don't know the anwer to your question buy it wouldn't hurt to see a neurologist or neurosurgeon if you can find one who is excellent. That's the challenge, finding a really good doctor.

There's not usually any way to rush into a surgery unless nerve damage is imminent. They usually require conservative treatments such as physical therapy and up to six months to let the body try to deal with it naturally.
