Thanks man, to many blunt injuries when I was younger, I guess catching up with me. Ralph helped me with the avatar, he hooked me right up. I don't know how to do that stuff. Shawn.

You getting a cervical fusion? I had one done on my C6/C7 after two years of agony following a car accident (I was rear-ended by two cars going full speed).

You have my deepest sympathy--its going to hurt! (the pain never goes away completely, but it makes hang gliding tolerable again).

Best of luck,
Marc

I can relate, I have a lower ruptured disk.I just got to watch the way I lift and it seems to go alright but...tweaked it washing wallpaper glue off the wall. This was only a 3 day pain. My doc says surgery for disks (orthoscopic) has really advanced in the last couple of years and in a few more risks should be minimal with better results...I can hold out!
Ice and heat 20 on 20 off.

Feel better

Yeah Marc, c6-c7 a piece of hip bone between the two ,and presto fuses together. can't wait. Maybe he'll say it isn't nessasary yet. It's all new to me, but numbness in my arm tells me nerve damage- don't want it to get worse. Just plain sucks. Shawn.

Get well soon dude! I sprained my back earlier this spring and walked
around like a freak for about 2 weeks. Then..."poof" I was fine. Just take
it easy.....and stay away from digging ditches..LOL.
