I couldn’t sleep because of my neck; the MRI said that there was no space for a cortisone injection and that my spinal cord was injured and in danger of becoming deformed. I had no choice but to opt in for C5 neck disc replacement. Currently my L4 and five are 80% displaced but I’m nowhere near the pain threshold I was with my neck so I’m waiting.

I'm going to be asking my doctor to request current imaging. My spine feels like it's gotten worse. I'm afraid of surgery. Especially being under 30yo

I had my stimulator implanted 6 years ago because I was having a nonstop headache.
