I wake up one morning can't turn my head, as i said I'm am rn, so I think OK no biggie slept under the window...went to the gp after 3 weeks,gives me steroids, etc OK for 3 weeks...and then bam. .my left arm went numb, crying in pain every day . thinking I'm being a weenie..until I went to the university hospital ,had the mri huge herniation of c5 c 6...no one knows what happened..go to therapy, cried,kept all my aerobics up,although it was excruciating. ..so they want surgery, but I'm an athlete, so I increased my walking running..although a slightly lower pace...so to make a long story short..2 steroid shots and increasing my aerobic exercise. .I'm good not even taking a Tylenol.

Good for you. I was not good until they removed the disc in my neck. Due to Insurance protocols it was 3 months that I had to suffer.
Does the disc in your neck look any different now than it did? Are you sure it's over?
