Best Luck- sounds like you took a treat the symptoms approach. Just remember that no matter how good you feel - to be careful with your injury. Your disc is still trashed And when you need to get your disc fixed, avoid ACDF at all costs. Most surgeons recommend it as they've been doin it for years, it's their specialty and they haven't invested in to modernize their skills and practice.

Thx!

I am really thankful to every1 here for their precious advice and words of wisdom.
God bless all!
