My c-spine acting up again... (discography results)

[kim222]

Mark,

It's interesting about the "face tingling thing". I get the tingling/prickling feeling on the left lower cheek & below the jaw-line on my left side and that is the same side that my C3/4 bulges toward. I sorta chalked it up to my sternocleidomastoid muscle acting up in the front of my neck and possibly tugging on a facial nerve. Thanks for the info and the food for thought. It's good to hear someone's experience with the procedure. I hope your pain levels stay low until you can get the surgery!

Best wishes,

Kim

I have to tell you... that fall set me off in a way that really made me think that surgery would be needed soon. Since the trip, my neck has been better than normal and I would not be considering surgery as long as I'm this functional.

In the past, we've heard that people can be better than ever, after discography. I wonder about possibly rehydrating the disc via discography and getting some therapeutic benefit? (I also have experienced and heard about being much worse after discography... so don't go for discography instead of PT!)
