Damn Kevin, hope that you have a speedy recovery. I herniated C6/C7 11 years ago and lucked out and it healed without surgery. Don't worry, you can always use a straw in your beer.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

God bless fast days ahead

Glad it's going well! Amazing what they can do to the spine/neck joints from the front entry.

3 months for the serious stuff
I go back to surgeon on the 12th and will
ask if I can make the Oct Harlan ride.
I plan on doing Jeep Fest on that Friday
just to hang out with some folks.
-
Glad you are doing so well! Lots to be thankful for.
Did you read about Pete"THE COVE" Mier? Guy with the Sami...
Doc says his back is really bad and he needs surgery that could put him in a chair forever... WTH

No I hadn't read that...

So I went to a chiropractor today as my arms were going numb. After an X-ray the dr comes in and asks how long ago did I break my neck? I'm like wtf!?! But yeah my spine is out of alignment by 4inches and he could not believe I was walking
So today I saw a specialist about my neck and it didn't go well. They pretty much gave a max of 10years that I'll be able to work Without having surgery. And that's the good news. Bad news is I need to put the surgery off as long as possible because they say there is a chance that it does more harm than good and I end up not walking again"
That really sucks.

That's horrible. I have been going through similar things. Getting an MRI next week. X rays haven't shown anything broken but I have been dealing with a good bit of numbness and pain.

Dang buddy, we'll add you to the prayer list. That needs to go away.

I'm having a MRI tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure mine is still compressed/slipped disk on L5. I get numbness in my hands, especially while I drive, but I assumed it was carpal tunnel, not spinal. How would I know the difference?

I hope everyone gets better. My two female dogs got in a fight last night. Not sure why. In the middle of breaking them up my right calf now has 5 holes in it. Pain last night. Stiff today. Cut the front yard and have a push mow. Took an hour. Minor pain, walk with a good limp today. I was happy I could walk today. Last time they got in a fight, my left hand was bit on top and bottom. Wouldn't close for a few weeks. Took about a month to have some grip strength.

Last time? That would have been the last time.

What the MRI doesn't show, the neurologist can poke electrical shock needles in you and measure what your nerves are carrying and tell you a lot more... if the brain doesn't see it, or does see it at a lower %, it will atrophy.

I hear you on that. I was trying to break them up and put my hand where I shouldn't have. 100% my fault. I was on the bed and they were on the floor. It was a blind grab for the collar to yank one on the bed. While my hand was bit, I got them apart. These are the kind of fights that no or screaming at them won't stop it. My lab bit me and not on purpose. She is a daddy's dog. She snuggles with me over the wife. She never snapped at people and no temper. Actually loved by all and listens the best. Then the lab foot was so swollen she was at the vet the next day. She wouldn't put any weight on it.
She got me last night in the calf. Once she realized it was me and not the other dog, she stopped. She is 6 I think. It's easier to get her apart vs the female dalmatian mix that's barely over 1. I was trying to use my foot to stop them. Learned not to use a hand. Damn face went white and i was getting light headed. We had them seperate for the last 6 months until last week when the wife thought it was a good idea to let everyone together. My male lab just looks at them. I think he 8. Both are chocolate.
Very rarely do 2 female dogs get along unless they have grown up together. Male lab just goes with the flow. It would be one thing if I got bit for no reason. I love my female lab.

Bobby where is your numbness?
Clark...numbness in both hands is carpal tunnel
numbness in say the left arm down to your hand
would be pinched nerve in the C5, C6 C7 area
Pinched nerve in L5 would be nerves controlling
the lower body.

Ok...that's what I was thinking. My L5 is likely causing the sciatica, but Kell wanted an MRI since it's been a while since I had one.

Mine started out numbness in right upper arm , elbow and two fingers. I also was getting sharp pain in right hip and right calf and shin. I went to several chiropractors and didn't get any relief. I have been going to a spine doctor and have slowly been getting better. I have had several injections in my back to be exact 65. I also have been on muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory medication. The area has pin pointed no in my upper back. The numbness and pain in arm and leg is 90% gone. Hopefully the MRI will give us more answers.

the rod in the x-ray was spike's on each side with weights

I woke up with blood and sores over each ear....LOL
