Dear AdLnadPro friend
Your humor was enlightening, however.......
I too, suffered from a Cervical compression and I put it off for a year because I didn't want that "nasty" scar. Boy was I off track!
I had cervical decompression and fusion of c-3-4, 4-5 and now I no longer suffer from the neck pains that I tolerated for YEARS.
As far as my "ego" goes, the scar is not that noticable and I don't even think about it except when I'm shaving and see it in the mirror.
I'm disabled with a "balance disorder" and the Neurologist wouldn't pursue my disablity until I had the cervical issue resolved. Now this may not apply to you, but they got my attention with the statement that a fall could result in "paralysis," I decided my ego was not worth being totally disabled for the rest of my life when I had an option to resolve the issue.
Dear lady, listen to your Dr's.
my two cents
Tom
