Advice on massive neck pain...

Pls help need advice on massive neck pain, can't get reduction or neck surgery til one year after WLS. Taking Percs and sometimes pot if I can't sleep at all, like on Wednesday I couldn't lie down because of the pain.

why is that? i had a triple discectomy and fusion done on my neck at slightly less than one year out. curious... do you get the munchies now that you've had WLS surgery?

oh about that advice... My physical therapist gave me a book called Treat Your Own Neck Pain by Robin McKenzie that i have found to be EXTREMELY useful. http://www.amazon.com/Treat-Your-Own-Neck-4th/dp/0958269246/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-9968276-16 92640?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173504710&sr=8-1

Too cool I will check it out...I had 2 back surgeries in lower spine and have 3 bulging discs in my neck.

Sonia i am not sure if you have any extra benefits from your work or you husbands work..but I am two years with two herniated disks in my neck. My dad suggested i go to this woman out here in LaSalle where i am. Her name is Judith i now call her my miracle worker! She does ultra sound and neck manipulations..she is NOT A CHIROPRACTOR ..i am terrified of chiropractors and bone cracking she does not do this. Ultra Sound therapy helps to heal scar tissue which causes alot of pain for most people with neck problems. Until i went to her I could not work I was a bartender for 7 yrs. I could barely stand to do the dishes at my sink. Now i can do dishes , carry laundry, carry groceries. I stil have pain from time to time when i over do it. I saw Dr Shamisa the neurosurgeon and he said he would not do surgery unless i lost 50lbs. I was on my own to deal with this basically. I am a new woman - almost... If you want more info leave me a message..i would be glad to talk to you.
