I have to tell you... that fall set me off in a way that really made me think that surgery would be needed soon. Since the trip, my neck has been better than normal and I would not be considering surgery as long as I'm this functional.

In the past, we've heard that people can be better than ever, after discography. I wonder about possibly rehydrating the disc via discography and getting some therapeutic benefit? (I also have experienced and heard about being much worse after discography... so don't go for discography instead of PT!)
