I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT 13 MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TO CHRIOPRACTORS, ORTHO DOCTORS PHYSICAL THERAPY AND HAD 3 EPIDURALS I HAVE ALSO SEEN TWO NUROSURGENS WHO HAVE SAID THAT I HAVE A C4-5&6 RUPTURED DISCS AND THAT THEY ARE CAUSING A PINCHED NERVE RUNNING DOWN MY LEFT ARM INTO MY HAND.THAT IS CAUSING ME A LOT OF PAIN I CAN BARELY LIFT MY ARM UP AND I DON'T SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT THEY HAVE SAID THAT I NEED TO TAKE THE DISC'S OUT AND HAVE SURGERY WITH BONE FUSION FROM MY HIP AND A TITANIUM CAGE PUT IN.I WANT TO KNOW IF ANY ONE HAS HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. I ALSO WANT TO HEAR ABOUT OTHER PROBLEMS THAT CAN HAPPEN FROM THIS TYPE OF SURGERY. I HAVE HEARD THAT IF YOU DO THIS SURGERY IT CAN CAUSE OTHER DISC'S IN YOUR NECK TO COMPRESS AND RUPTURE AND THAT CAN CAUSE OTHER PAIN AND PROBLEMS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY. I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE USED ACUPUNCTURE FOR THIS TYPE OF INJURY AND IF IT WORKED WELL FOR THEM. I CAN BE REACHED AT ROSEYCHIC@AOL.COM
