Scheduled for Thursday, 3/1/07. Woke up on 12/19 and felt like someone had beat me on my arm all night. Of course, its before christmas and there was not time to see a doctor till the day after christmas. Even with all the pain. Gone through loads of pain meds, anti inflammatories, etc., physical therapy, all to no avail. How I wish I hadn't read a whole lot about the surgery. Now I'm scared sick. And in pain too. Apparently the whole thing is at the C6/7. I guess this is years of alot of abuse. Ok and age too. Just turned 50. Need some encouragement please
